Please join us for Holy Communion!Welcome to the LutheranChurch of our Saviour!

We will be celebrating Holy Communion this morning. You need

not be Lutheran nor a member of this congregation. All are invited to join us at

God’s Table. Gluten-free bread and grape-juice are also available.

Today’s PsalmOur Psalm for today is Psalm 149 found on the

screen or on page 338 and following in your hymnal. We will be singing the Psalm

responsively by whole verse.

Tarnished Halos“To be a Saint, all it takes really, is to belong to God. It’s not a matter of being or doing good or wearing

a camel-hair shirt and eating locusts in the

desert, or even performing 3 documented miracles.

It’s simply a matter of belonging to God through

our Baptism.”From today’s sermon: “Tarnished Halos”

Today we remember ...and give thanks for the lives and love of

Mervyn Pegelo, Grace Brydon and Maurice Publuske, all of whom touched our

lives and who now find their rest in God.

“O Lord, your grace is everything; your love has

made us free to stand among the saints and sing the glory

that we see, the glory that we see.”

(ELW #441, vs. 4)

All Saints Sunday

During our liturgy this morning, you’ll be invited to

come forward with your candle, to light it in memory of the saints in your life, and

to place it on or in front of the altar.
