Eucharist this Sunday

This Sunday only, there won't be a Eucharist here at Mercy House. We'll do it over at St. James AC Church, at 3:00 pm. Thank you, Fr. Neil. So if you show up here for Eucharist Sunday at 10:30, Shirley and I will do Morning Prayer and drink coffee and fellowship with you, and lunch if you want to hang for that. But, everybody worship with us Sunday afternoon at 3:00 in Eucharist and an ordination. We'll have a reception and go eat after.

Today is All Souls Day. We remember and rejoice with all believers who are with Christ now, especially ones no one's ever heard of. And for a lot of folks, this is a day to remember family members who have passed, and to ask for their intercession.

Cousin Sammy, pray for us. (no more cancer for you, buddy)
Uncle Jack, pray for us.
Aunt Louise, pray for us.
Aunt Neda, pray for us. (no more diabetes for you)
Grandma Justice, pray for us. (you showed us all how to do justice and love mercy, and to walk humbly with God))
Granny Gillispie, pray for us. (105 years was long enough here, huh?)
Grandpa Herbert, pray for us.
Mommaw, pray for us.
Aunt Lovie, pray for us.
Uncle Bill, pray for us.
Uncle Oggie, pray for us. (I'll join you and br. Jack Lewis for a pipe smoke when I get there, and you and I will have a Slurpee and sit under our tree again)
Grandpa Cecil, pray for us.
Grandma Margaret, pray for us.
Harold, pray for us. (no more cancer for you either, my brother)
