Sunday Preview (October 30, 2022) | All Saints Sunday
Matthew 5:4 | As we pause to honor and remember those in our community (and those connected to our community through a loved one) who have passed away, we will be looking at ‘Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.’ These words of Jesus have brought comfort to some, but can also be hard to hear when in the midst of deep grief. There isn’t one right way to mourn, but there is something that we are all called to do – be present. Let’s be present for this important day of remembering, mourning, and hoping.
If you would like us to acknowledge the loss of a loved one, please email Pastor Jason (jason@peaceumc.com) ASAP. Our tradition is that we remember those who have passed in the last year – but with COVID we haven’t been able to honor this tradition for a few years, so anyone in the last 2-3 years would be helpful to know about. Please include: name, age when they passed away, and a picture (if possible).
