One of the most difficult things about the nearly two years of the pandemic has been the deaths of loved ones. COVID complicated our ability to be with them at the end of their lives and how and when we held public rituals of mourning and celebration.

Our congregation will have an observance of All Saints' Day in worship on Sunday, October 31, including a reading of names of those who have died in the past (approximately) two years and a slideshow of "that great cloud of witnesses."

You are invited to share the names of family members and close friends to be included in this remembrance. Please answer the questions below and also email a photo to Julia Andrews (music@firstpresmv.com) to be used in the slideshow. Thank you for helping us make this All Saints' observance memorable and meaningful!

If you have any questions, let us know below, or be in touch with Pastor Lori Wunder (lori.wunder@firstpresmv.com).
