I Am Because We Are
"I Am Because We Are"
Sermon by The Rev. Ed Bacon
Nov. 2, 2025
It is All Saints Sunday, a time to remember those who live on in our hearts—parents, friends, teachers, and saints like Desmond Tutu and Martin Luther King Jr. We are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses who remind us that “I am because we are,” bound together in the interrelated structure of reality where no one stands alone. Life is changed, not ended, and the energy of those who came before still lives within us. As three children are baptized into this communion of grace and love, we celebrate that the saints past, present, and future are one.
