Dunbar Heights United Church-Worship

All Saints Sunday 2010

Our All Saints Sunday tradition is to honour and remember those known, loved and now missed by our Dunbar Heights family.
With the children, Rev. Michelle shares the meaning of saint as one whom the light shines through. Saints are like the light of a candle, we share warmth and light, then the flame goes out and we feel the loss but it is relit by our memory and our knowledge our loved ones have gone home.

First, we remember those members of our Dunbar Heights family who have died in the past year. As each name is read, a large candle is lit by a family member or by Rev. Michelle. Then we continue lighting candles in memory of others known, loved and now missed by members.


Read Rev. Michelle's All Saints Day sermon based on the story of Zacchaeus.
Green is the colour of the long liturgical season between Pentecost in late May, and Advent, the four weeks before Christmas. Green is the colour of new growth in nature; the season of new growth in our understanding of how we follow Jesus. Worship at Dunbar Heights takes different forms during the year and at special seasons.
