This is our Novembering service when we gather as a community to remember those who are no longer among us and invite God into our places of loss and grief. The context for our remembering is the Communion Table, the gift from our flesh-and-blood God who struggled, like we do, with death and separation, yet surrendered in obedience and love in order to bring us back to God and make all things new. In our culture, we don’t always know how to deal with what we’ve lost. So on this Sunday we intentionally make space to remember and, again like Jesus, enter into these gardens of struggle in the company of others.
