This Sunday is our Novembering service when, as a community, we gather to remember those who are no longer among us and, together, invite God into our places of loss and grief. The context for our remembering is the Communion Table: the flesh-and-blood God – who struggled, just like we do, as He faced into death and separation – who surrendered His will to the Father, became obedient unto death, and died in order to bring us back to the Father and make all things new. In our culture, we don’t always know how to deal with what we’ve lost. So we’re intentionally making space to remember and, again like Jesus, enter into these gardens of struggle in the company of others.
