Christ Lutheran Vail Church

All Saints Day November 1st

2015-11-03T11:16:00.004-07:00

November 1st is All Saints Day - a day when we consider those Christians who proceed us in death. We would not know the love of Jesus without their faithful service to the kingdom. They are our heritage. When we draw out last breath, whet will we leave behind? On this day, we will consider all saints, living and dead, who have sacrificed for the kingdom. And we'll consider the future joy in heaven for all the saints who fight the valiant fight.
