Saints List still Up in Webster HallIn honor of All Saints’ Day, the Mission Board invited you to think about those people in your life – whether known personally by you or merely observed from afar – who have embodied for you the Spirit-filled life. “The saints” as the Bible calls them are not “perfect” people, beings who have no flaws or quirks or failings, but rather are those whose lives are made “holy” by the evidence of the Spirit shining through them. There will be a “faceless” portrait amongst the other faces upon which we invite you to write the name of the “saint” you wish to nominate, along with your name so we can get more information. We’ll recognize and lift up all these names at our annual meeting.
