November 1: Twenty-Third Sunday after Pentecost/All Saints’ Day
Read Revelation 7:9-17
In the Reformed tradition, saints are believers of all times, past, present and future, through whom the light of God shines. As the author of Revelation reminds us, saints come from every nation, tribes, peoples, and languages of all ages and sizes. Give thanks to God for the saints in your lives who have shared their faith and hope with you.
Worship -November 1 at 10:00 am
We welcome you to in-person or online worship services in the Sanctuary on Sunday, November 1, 2026 at 10:00 am. Sallie Daugherty, ALP will be at the pulpit this Sunday. The Sermon is “The Work of the Kingdom".
PRAYER FOR ILLUMINATION (in unison)
In your Word, O God, show us heaven. By your spirit, show us truth; through Christ, the Living Word, in whom we see your face. Amen.
PSALM Psalm 34:1-10, 22
I will bless the Lord at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul makes
its boast in the Lord; let the humble hear and be glad. O magnify the Lord with me, and let us
exalt his name together. I sought the Lord, and he answered me and delivered me from all my
fears. Look to him, and be radiant, so your faces shall never be ashamed. This poor soul cried
and was heard by the Lord and was saved from every trouble. The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him and delivers them. O taste and see that the Lord is good; happy are those who take refuge in him. O fear the Lord, you his holy ones, for those who fear him have
no want. The young lions suffer want and hunger, but those who seek the Lord lack no good
thing. The Lord redeems the life of his servants; none of those who take refuge in him will be condemned.
GOSPEL Matthew 5:1-12
When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain, and after he sat down, his disciples came to him. And he began to speak and taught them, saying: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. “Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. “Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy. “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. “Blessed are those who are persecuted for the sake of righteous-
ness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. “Blessed are you when people revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
THE WORD OF THE LORD!
Thanks be to God!
