Giving Thanks for All Saints

Posted on November 1, 2017 | Posted by Pastor Daniel

Honor your father and mother.
The commandment was not written with children in mind,
Children who must be molded and pressed into responsible adults,
Children who cannot determine their own fate, yet.

Honor your father and mother.
The commandment was written, like all others, for adults,
Adults who think themselves sovereign and responsible,
Adults who presume to determine their own fate.

Honor your father and mother.
The commandment forces humility upon adults,
Calls us back to the dependence of childhood,
Reminds us that our past fashions us still and always will.

Honor your father and mother.
So we light candles for our ancestors.
We give thanks for these no-longer-forgotten saints,
Whose light and shadows form our own.


On this All Saints Day, we give thanks for the many saints in our lives – for those recently baptized, for those who embolden our faith, for those whose memory fills us with hope, and for those saints of old through whom God formed us.

On Sunday, November 5th, you’re invited to light a candle for a saint in your life.  We will also name and give thanks for those who were baptized at Ascension in the last year and those who have been committed to God’s care by the congregation in the last year.

Those baptized at Ascension this last year:
Kaylynn Self, Braydon Self, Amaya Jacobson, Jaxon Jaime, Jevon James, Lochlann McCann, Leilani Medlin, Madison Alvarez, Owen Pompa, Dylan Sabina, August Smalls, Aubrieanna Hecht.

Those comitted to God’s care by Ascension this last year:
John Sorenson, Geneva Anderson, Ruth Andersen, Chuck Blaney, Katie Lancaster, Carol Iberg,Herb Jorstad, Jim Stannard, Peter Hedemark, Paul Amick, Willard Howe, Phil Aspinwall, Dale Brown, and Dorothy Miller.
