Shared Ministry
changes schedule for
Reformation Sunday,
All Saints Day
The Shared Ministry
of Hope Lutheran Church
and All Saints Episcopal
Church will celebrate Ref-
ormation Sunday, Oct. 25,
with Holy Communion at
the Lutheran Church (cor-
ner of Cowins and Alfalfa),
followed by a potluck em-
phasizing the color of Ref-
ormation: red.
On Reformation Day,
Lutherans around the world
remember the courage of
Martin Luther (the 16 th
Century German monk who
sought to bring the church
back to the biblical message
of salvation by grace alone)
and pray for the courage to
continue that work in our
day.
The following Sunday,
Nov. 1, All Saints Day
will be celebrated at the
Episcopal Church (corner
of Church and Gale) with
Morning Prayer and a time
to remember friends and
family members who have
died in the Lord.
This worship schedule
varies from the Shared Min-
istry’s customary rotating
pattern of worship: the first
and third Sundays of the
month at Hope Lutheran,
and the second fourth Sun-
days at All Saints Epis-
copal, with fifth Sundays
being alternated. Worship
begins weekly at 10 a.m.,
and everyone is welcome.
More information is avail-
able by calling the Shared
Ministry office at 541-676-
9970.
