Music

• Greeted as Saints, We So Become; this is a Jane Parker Huber hymn that is in in "A Singing Faith;" it uses the tune "Quebec" which is at number 101 in the Chalice Hymnal; there are 4 verses; words will be on the screen.
• For All the Saints; CH #637  (Ann, I may break this hymn up some and have us do the verses separately in between some prayers for the saints.  I'll let you know later in the week.)
• Sing a New Church; another new hymn that uses the hymn tune "Nettleton," which can be found in the Chalice Hymnal at number 16; there are 5 verses; again, words will be on the screen.

Liturgy

• To be decided

As I wrote at the top of this post, we'll be celebrating All Saints Day this Sunday.  I'm not sure which scripture I'll focus on for my sermon.
