Remembering the Saints of East Falls
Today is All Saints Day. This Sunday the remnant of Redeemer will meet for worship in East Falls and pay tribute to our saints on All Saints Sunday.
Just as in most churches that have their own altar to kneel before, we will recall the saints who have walked ahead of us on the path to Glory.
Some congregations will remember those who died this year. At Redeemer, we know the time measured by mankind compares little to eternity. We remember all the important saints in our lives.
We even remember those still living. It is ALL Saints Day! As Lutherans, we believe in the sainthood of all believers, whether living on earth or in heaven.
Today, and as we approach All Saints Sunday, we remind you that the saints in East Falls are still working to build Christian community while the Christians of the Southeastern Pennsylvania Synod (SEPA) of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) seek to destroy us.
- We still worship.
- We still serve.
- We still share the Gospel.
- We still help others.
- We still teach.
- We still have fellowship.
- We still witness and give.
- We still fall short of God’s expectations.
And so do you.
