All Saints' Day It's your day!

Welcome

Today, we remember and celebrate All Saints' Day. On November 1 each year, the church gives thanks for the saints of God. A saint is someone who believes Jesus is their Savior. We remember saints who have died and now celebrate eternal life with Jesus. We thank God for living saints who share Jesus with us. We celebrate what Jesus has done for us and that we are saints.

Share

Who is someone who points you to Jesus?

Sing and Dance

Let's sing, dance, and celebrate that there is a place for us in heaven! We are the saints of God!

Scripture

1 John 3:1-3 HCSB

Look at how great a love the Father has given us that we should be called God’s children. And we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it didn’t know Him. Dear friends, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet been revealed. We know that when He appears, we will be like Him because we will see Him as He is. And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself just as He is pure.

Talk

What did you learn from the video? We are children of God and saints. What does this mean to you?

Engage

Take a walk around your neighborhood looking for leaves. Save the ones that catch your attention. When you get home, share your collection and say something about why you chose each leaf. What made it beautiful or interesting? Every single one is unique, just like the saints of God. Share what makes you a unique and unreproducible miracle of God.

Make a memory jar and keep it in a central location at home. If someone you love died this year, it can be for memories about that person; otherwise, it can hold memories about your life together this past year. When you think of a memory to add, write it down and put it in the jar. When you are experiencing moments of sadness or grief, take a memory out and read it. (From Sparkhouse Digital All Saints Family Activity)

Pray

Dear Jesus, We praise you for all the saints. We thank you for the people who lived in faith before us and for those who bless us today. We celebrate that we are part of the family of faith all around the world, united in Your love. Amen.
