All Saints Day 2024

Rev. Dr. Carolyn Scanlan-Holmes • October 30, 2024

This Sunday, The Garden invites you to a special All Saints Day service, a time to remember those we have lost and to celebrate the promise of eternal life. It's a day to acknowledge the bittersweet joy of love that transcends even death.


We'll gather to honor the memories of those who have passed, both in recent times and long ago. We'll share stories, laughter, and perhaps a few tears, as we remember their lives and the legacies they left behind.


All Saints Day is a beautiful reminder that while earthly life may end, love and life continue in a new way. It's a time to find comfort in the promise of eternal life and to celebrate the enduring bonds we share with those who have gone before us.


Join us this Sunday for an All Saints Day celebration filled with remembrance, hope, and love.
