In the United Methodist tradition, we call those who have been an important part of our journey of faith “saints.” Saints bless us with their love and their witness of faith. I suspect we can all think of someone who has been a bridge between us and God and each other; a mentor, a friend, a neighbor, a beloved grandparent or parent, a children’s or youth director, a pastor, perhaps even your child or grandchild. This Sunday is All Saints Sunday and you are invited to light a candle in celebration of someone who has been a saint in your life, past or present. If you plan to watch our services virtually, you are invited to light a candle at home. Also plan to have some bread and juice available to participate in Holy Communion with your church family. We're wrapping up the sermon series, “How to Build a Bridge” as we remember those who have built bridges that benefit us today, not only bridges to God but also bridges to one another.
