NOVEMBER 1, SOLEMNITY OF ALL SAINTS (A, B, C) Lectionary #667
We revel in the title “children of God,” for that is what we are. We know that this title extends as far as God's loving embrace, reaching beyond all the barriers that we would interpose. How do we live the unity we affirm?
Gathering/Entrance Procession
One of the following litanies would be appropriate today, especially if the entrance procession includes children and other members of the community besides the ministers.
