Welcome Rev. Frenchye Magee Associate Pastor

+Call to Worship: paraphrasing 1 Peter 2: 5 & 9 Kale Langley Generosity Team Chair

Welcome one and all! No one is ever to be left outside God’s house. There is always room for all of us!

Let you yourselves be built into a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, Where we offer spiritual sacrifices! YOU are acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. We ARE chosen, royal, holy, God’s own people, that we may proclaim the mighty acts of God who calls us out of darkness into God’s marvelous light.

Judy Zabel Isaiah 61:1-4, 8-11 Prayer of Confession Celtic Farewell Krista Riedel If we have placed our only hope in the things we can see and touch, and have denied ourselves, or those close to us, that greater hope in the glory of things unseen. Lord have mercy. Lord have mercy. If we have chosen to nurse our grief for the loss of dear ones with the bitterness of those who weep without hope or faith in your saving love, Christ have mercy. Christ have mercy. If we put the saints on pious pedestals, and restrict ourselves to a diminished respect for our own capacity to grow in the knowledge and love of God, Lord have mercy. Lord have mercy. God of love, we thank you for your patience. You have given us many guides and helpers to inspire us, and have given us the word that one day we shall be as Christ Jesus is; yet we have been slow to hear, reluctant to learn and sluggish in our efforts. We repent this our lack of faith and love, and ask that the love of Jesus Christ which so healed and uplifted the saints, may also mercifully heal us of our sins and empower our renewed best intentions. Through Christ Jesus our Savior we pray.

Silent Prayer

Words of Assurance My friends, the life that overcomes the pessimism and recriminations of the world, is the life of faith. “Once we were not a people, but now we are God’s people; once we had not received mercy, but now we have received mercy.” It is in Jesus’ name that we declare to all repentant people: Our sins are forgiven. Live in peace. Thanks be to God! In Our Prayers This Week Sharing the Signs of Peace Joe Polach Director of Facilities Baptisms Maxwell Luke Martin The peace of Christ be with you.

Hymn Who Are These Like Stars Appearing? Irby

Who are these like stars appearing, These before God’s throne who stand? Each a golden crown is wearing; Who are all this glorious band? Alleluia, hark, they sing, Praising loud their heaven’ly King. (all singing) These are they who have contended For their Savior’s honor long, Wrestling on till life was ended, Following not the sinful throne; These, who well the fight sustained, Triumph through the Lamb have gained.

For All the Saints Sine Nomine (st. 5)

God, creation’s great designer, Architect, and artisan, Dreamer, builder, and refiner— How we marvel at your plan. You have formed us to reflect you, Filled us with your Spirit’s breath, Freed us to accept, reject you, And in Christ, defeated death.

Hear our thanks for those who founded In this place a church for praise, Firm in Christ their faith was grounded As they lived their earthly days. Builders, they, in brick and stone-work, Walls supporting roof and floors, Praising you in all their own work— Solid steeple, open doors. Sing we, too, of churches standing Not alone in wood and stone, But in human lives commanding Confidence in you alone.

Our Hennepin Saints

All Saints Day is an opportunity to give thanks for all those who have gone before us in the faith. It is a time to celebrate their legacy of faith. Each year we pause to celebrate all those who have gone before us from life to resurrection life. These persons have died since last All Saints Sunday. We continue to celebrate their lives and give thanks for the legacy they have left for their families and for this church.

Today we celebrate All Saints Sunday. We extend a special welcome to friends and family of those who have died this past year and whose funerals or memorial services were held at Hennepin Avenue UMC. We pray that this worship service will be a source of comfort and strength for you as we are reminded that death is never the end. Each one of our saints and our visionaries know the importance of leaving a legacy to their families and community. In life, in death, and beyond death into eternal life, they witness to their faith in God and love for Hennepin Avenue UMC continues and will continue to bless the generations to come. We give thanks for our saints and for their hope filled vision for the future.

If you would like more information about how you can leave a legacy for your family, for Hennepin Avenue UMC and other organizations or institutions that reflect your deeply held values, please attend the Planning Forward workshop next Sunday, November 8, at 12noon via Zoom. Cindy Aegerter and Jack Fistler will review options for making meaningful planned and outright gifts for Hennepin. A Hennepin member, Cindy, is Senior Gift Planner with InFaith Community Foundation, and Jack is our director of Legacy Giving. Find details for this online workshop on our website, haumc. org/events.

If you are unable to attend or have questions, please contact Jack by calling the church office or by emailing Jack: [email protected]. Visionaries

They have enriched the faith experiences of future generations at Hennepin, helped keep our ministries vibrant and relevant, and inspired us through their generosity.
