God's Saints
"God's Saints"
Sermon by The Rev. Brad Landry
November 3, 2024
We hold on to the promise that God will wipe away every tear from our eyes. That in these children, as in our larger body of Christ, we are already beginning to experience the new life of this new creation, and that the dwelling of God is not so far off in the future, but that God has come to dwell with us, within us. Know that God has come here to be with his saints, the brand new baptized saints of today. The saints that are in the rest of our lives. In the saints who have gone on before. God's dwelling is with us, in God's saints.

Our Annual Blessing of the Animals will be Wednesday, October 7 on the Terrell Commons grass area! Bring your lawn chair or blanket to enjoy a hot dog dinner together that starts at 5:30pm, blessing of the animals will be after we eat. The Blessing of the Animals is an annual ceremony celebrating the human-animal bond, originating as part of the feast day of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals and the environment. St. Francis was admired for his deep and genuine respect for all creatures and his belief in the interdependency of humans with the rest of creation. He was a fiery preacher, and not many wanted to hear his message so he preached to animals instead. This ceremony helps us to remember how important our animal companions are and how they show unconditional love for us. If you have an older less mobile pet, or maybe one that doesn't handle social gatherings very well, feel free to bring a picture of that animal and we are happy to bless those.
