Service of Worship All Saints Sunday November 3, 2013 Eleven o clock in the morning Keeping the heart of the University listening to the heart of God The Mystical Supper, icon by Simon Ushakov, 1685. Today we celebrate All Saints Day, which is a time for the Church to remember all those saints, known and unknown, who have gone before us and have faithfully walked the Christian path. The mood of this service is one of celebration and joy for all those people who have borne fruit for the kingdom by their service to Christ. Today we welcome new members into the communion of saints through the sacrament of baptism. We will also share in the sacrament of communion, remembering our mysterious connection with Christian saints, past and present.

For, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. For he that is mighty hath magnified me, and holy is his name. And his mercy is on them that fear him throughout all generations. He hath shown strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He hath put down the mighty from their seat and hath exalted the humble and meek. He hath filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he hath sent empty away.
