This morning, we mark All Saints Day. At the heart of All Saints is that the universal church is united in time and space. In the New Testament, the word “saint” appears 64 times, always in the plural.

This All Saints Day is about being a community of faith. This, of all days, is where we might ask ourselves, “what does it mean to be this community of faith?” This is more than a ‘church’. This is more than a building; but does take both of those things. It also takes 150 years almost of those who have gathered here as the Parish of Fendalton, in whose footsteps we walk, on whose shoulders we stand, and from whose decisions we benefit even now.

There are eight ways we can be All Saints together
