All Souls Day Service – Saturday, November 2
The Commemoration of All Faithful Departed (also known as All Souls Day) developed—as sort of an extension of All Saints Day—as a day on which the Church remembers that vast body of the faithful who may be unknown in the wider fellowship of the church but are no less members of the company of the redeemed, particularly family members and friends. This year St. John’s will offer a service on All Souls Day, November 2, beginning at 5:00 p.m. You are invited to bring a photo or memento of any individual you wish to remember at this service. You may also still submit names to be remembered in the All Saints/All Souls Day services by calling or e-mailing the parish office.

Everyone is invited to the annual All Saints Open House at the Rectory Sunday, November 3, from 4:00 – 6:00 p.m.
