All Saints Day 2014

For All Saints Day - a saint...an elderly gentleman and regular attender at church for many years remarked to me at the end of the service that he had not seen the church so full for a long, long time and that he remembered the days when just three or four were there keeping things going. It is that kind of faithful and steadfast worship through sparse times that keeps hope alive and eventually may enable a growing congregation and big services like this morning. I could not even convince him that it was his faithful service that had helped make it happen. Some people don't see that they are saints.
