Remembering the Saints
/
On Sunday, Nov. 2, St. John's United Church of Christ holds their annual Totenfest observance. Deeply rooted in the German heritage of the congregation, Totenfest is held the Sunday closest to All Saints Day (Nov. 1) during 10 a.m. worship. Those persons from St. John's who died in the previous 12 months are remembers and their families are honored.
This year we remember...

The congregation will also name member family members and friends who have died and whom they hold in their hearts. Though they are gone from our sight, through the mystery of our faith and the memories we hold of them, they remain close to us.
