All Saints celebrates the baptized people of God, living and dead, who are the body of Christ. As November heralds the dying of the landscape in many northern regions, the readings and liturgy callus to remember all who have died in Christ and whose baptism is complete. At the Lord's table we gather with the faithful of every time and place, trusting that the promises of God will be fulfilled and
that all tears will be wiped away in the new Jerusalem.

WORD God’s Word is proclaimed in Scripture reading and preaching
The FIRST READING Revelation 7:9–17The book of Revelation is written to seven churches in western Asia Minor during a time of great
oppression. Today's reading is a response to the question asked in 6:17: "Who is able to stand?" Thewriter gives the faithful the assurance of God's protection and a vision of victory.9 After this I looked, and there was a great multitude that no one could count,from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing beforethe throne and before the Lamb, robed in white, with palm branches in theirhands. 10They cried out in a loud voice, saying,
"Salvation belongs to our God who is seated on the throne, and to the
Lamb!"11 And all the angels stood around the throne and around the elders and thefour living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and
worshipedGod, 12singing,
"Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdomand thanksgiving and honor
and power and mightbe to our God forever and ever! Amen."
13Then one of the elders addressed me, saying, "Who are these, robed in white,and where have they come from?" 14I said to him, "Sir, you are the one thatknows." Then he said to me, "These are they who have come out of the greatordeal ;they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the
Lamb. 15For this reason they are before the throne of God,and worship him day and night within his temple,

and the one who is seated on the throne will shelter them.16They will hunger no more, and thirst no more;the sun will not strike them,nor any scorching heat;17for the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd,
and he will guide them to springs of the water of life,and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."
The reading concludes:
The Word of the Lord
Thanks be to God.The PSALMODY Psalm 34:1-10, 22 After organ introduction, the choir or cantor will sing the refrain once, then repeated by all. Theassembly sings the refrain.
I will bless the LORD | at all times;
the praise of God shall ever be | in my mouth.2I will glory | in the LORD;
let the lowly hear | and rejoice. Refrain 3Proclaim with me the greatness | of the LORD;
let us exalt God's | name together.4I sought the LORD, who | answered me
and delivered me from | all my terrors.5
Look upon the LORD|
and be radiant,and let not your faces | be ashamed.
6I called in my affliction, and | the LORD heard me
and saved me from | all my troubles. Refrain 7The angel of the LORD encamps around those who | fear the LORD
and de- | livers them.8Taste and see that the | LORD is good;
happy are they who take ref-|
uge in God!9Fear the LORD, you saints | of the LORD,for those who fear the | LORD lack nothing.

The Holy +1 Gospel according to MatthewGlory to you, O Lord.
When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain; and after he sat down, his
disciples came to him. 2Then he began to speak, and taught them, saying:3"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.4"Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.5"Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.6"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.7"Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy.8
"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.9"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.10"Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is thekingdom of heaven.11"Blessed are you when people revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds ofevil against you falsely on my account 12Rejoice and be glad, for your reward isgreat in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were
before you.The reading concludes:
The Gospel of the Lord.Praise to you, O Christ.

12 THE FEAST OF A LL S AINTS
The CREED With the whole people of God, let us confess our faith. We believe in one God,
the Father, the Almighty,maker of heaven and earth,of all that is, seen and unseen.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,the only Son of God,eternally begotten of the Father,God from God, Light from Light,true God from true God,begotten, not made,of one Being with the Father.Through him all things were made.For us and for our salvation
he came down from heaven;
by the power of the Holy Spirithe became incarnate
2 from the virgin Mary, and was
made man.For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered death and was buried.On the third day he rose again
in accordance with the Scriptures;
he ascended into heavenand is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,and his kingdom will have no end.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son.
With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified.He has spoken through the prophets.
We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come. Amen
2 Martin Luther, in his Commentary on the Gospel of John encouraged the continuation of the ancient tradition of bowing during this
portion of the Creed until “For our sake…” because “the Divine Majesty abased Himself and became like us poor bags of worms, and
to thank God for the ineffable mercy and compassion reflected in the incarnation.” (Luther’s Works, Vol. 22, pp. 102, 105)

The DISTRIBUTION OF THE HOLY SACRAMENT Access to the Lord’s Table is by invitation of the Lord himself. All baptized believers who trust that Christ is presented in the celebration of the Holy Eucharist are invited to come forward and receive Christ in the BlessedSacrament. Communion is distributed by coming up the center aisle at the direction of the usher and returningalong the side aisle. Those who do not wish to receive the Sacrament may come forward with their arms crossed
and receive a blessing. Those who, for any reason, cannot receive the wine may receive the Sacrament under the form of bread alone. In doing so, a communicant still receives the whole Christ.
