November “Spire”
Worship
November 1, 2020
“We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.”
~ Winston Churchill
“Happiness is not made by what we own. It is what we share.”
~ Rabbi Jonathan Sacks
“Generosity is an activity that loosens us up. By offering whatever we can – a dollar, a flower, a word of encouragement – we are training in letting go.” ~ Pema Chodron
“Generosity isn’t an act. It’s a way of life.”
~ Chip Ingram
Call to Worship
God, in Jesus, you took the widow’s mite and the child’s loaves
and used them to show us the Kingdom.
Make this the place and time, good Lord,
when heaven and earth become one,
and we know ourselves beloved. Amen.
~ posted on the website of Old South Church in Boston.

Litany for All Saints Day
Eternal God,
our help in ages past, our hope for years to come,
we praise you for the saints of all times and places
who have walked the road of faith before us and beside us.
For their witness to your love
and their commitment to your justice,
for their trust in your mercy regardless of the circumstance,
we give you thanks and praise.
God of all creation,
we praise you for all your servants
who have witnessed to your truth,
who have shown us your love,
who have inspired us to have hope.
By their example of faith, hope, and love,
remind us of your calling
to join in making your new creation real
in this world and the next.
God of grace and peace,
we praise you for women and men and children
who reflect your love into our world.
Guide us to continue their faithful work
as we too walk in the light of your love.
God of all saints,
today we especially remember
the saints from among this community
who have departed our company over the past year.
We thank you for the faithful witness of
Harriet Armann
Ray Brown
Maxine Hybarger
Carl Thoresen

We remember so many other saints
who have walked this road with us,
whom we name before you aloud or in silence:
Eternal God,
as we walk this pilgrim way,
make our faith firm,
our hope clear,
and our love pure,
that we might join the saints of all the ages
in praise eternal,
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Sending Forth
Go now into the world, inspired by the
radiant love of God. Live generously,
with open hands, loving one another
as if your lives depended on it.
Be good stewards of the gifts you
have received, so that God may be
glorified in all that you say and do.
And may the abundant love of God surround you,
may the extravagant grace of Jesus Christ sustain
you, and may the constant presence of the Holy Spirit
inspire and encourage you in every good deed and word.
