John Wesley, founder of the Methodist movement, enjoyed and celebrated All Saints Day. In a journal entry from November 1, 1767, Wesley calls it “a festival I truly love.” On the same day in 1788, he writes, “I always find this a comfortable day.” The following year he calls it “a day that I peculiarly love.”

All Saints Day is an opportunity to give thanks for those who have gone before us in the faith. It is a time to celebrate our history, what United Methodists call the tradition of the church.

We will celebrate All Saints Day on Sunday, November 5, 2023. Please submit names of those who have passed away during the past year that you would like to be remembered during our celebration of All Saints Day. We will also be celebrating Holy Communion during this service.
