Worship at Home - 1 November 2020 - All Saints Day

 

Introduction

Today is All-Saints’ Day, which in times gone by was kept as a more prominent festival than it is today.  In his journal, John Wesley describes All-Saints’ Day as one that, ‘I peculiarly love’ (Journal for 1789.  (As an aside, it seems that in 1788 and 1789 immediately after All-Saints’ day he came to Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire, where he reports attending services at Hinxworth, Wreslingworth and Bedford!)

Together with All-Souls’ Day on 2^nd November, All-Saints’ day offers the Church the opportunity to remember and give thanks for God’s work of grace in all Christians throughout time.  More particularly, perhaps, we use it as an opportunity to remember those who have recently died.
