All Saints Sunday | 11-02-25 | All Services
Sunday, November 2, 2025
The end of October and early November is a time when many cultures and traditions remember and honor the dead. All Hallows’ Eve, Dia de los Muertos, All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day provide opportunities for us to both grieve and celebrate the lives of those we have lost. While the Christian tradition dates back to the earliest days of the church, we have found new ways of paying respect to the saints who have come before us in faith.
Would you like to recognize a particular saint or someone who has passed on from your own circle of family and friends?
During our 8:30 and 10am service on All Saints’ Sunday, we will be sharing the names of those who have passed over the last two years. If you would like to submit a name to be shown on screen during worship, please use this form.
You may also honor and recognize a saint, living or dead, by adding their name to the dedication on The Field of Light, our newly commissioned anthem by composer Z. Randall Stroop. Your dedication, with a minimum donation of $50, is not only a lovely way to honor someone you love and admire, but also helps us to cover the cost of the new music. To make a dedication, please use this form.
Honor a loved one by purchasing a personalized Memorial bricks to be incorporated into the Gwen Taylor Peace Plaza at Cathedral of Hope. The bricks are 4″x 8” and can have up to three lines of text (20 characters per line). All bricks will be within about 100 feet of the church building, and cost $160. To learn more about purchasing a memorial brick, please click here.
