All Saints Sunday - Service of Remembrance

Dear People of God,

 

In observance of the Festival of All Saints, the Chancel Choir of the Lutheran Church of Our Savior will present Home, A Service of Hope and Remembrance on Sunday, November 6 at 4:00 pm. The service will incorporate music and inspiring readings, as well as a time to remember family members and friends who have died over the years. This year, we will also remember the 13 LCOS members who died since last year's All Saint's service. This year's music will include classics such as Selig sind die Toten  by  Heinrich Schütz, the Virgil Thomson arrangement of the  beloved southern hymn, My Shepherd Will Supply My Need, along with some wonderful contemporary pieces by composers such as Gyneth Walker and Stephen Paulus. At this time of year when nature reminds us of the eventuality of death, we hope that this service will serve as a reminder of the hope that is ours in Christ. We invite you to join us for this special event. Immediately following the service, dinner will be served in the fellowship hall, during which time we will share memories of those who are no longer living. We hope you can join us.

 

In Christ's peace,

Gary
