SUMMARY:All Saints' Day
DESCRIPTION:All Saints’ Day\, which is on Nov. 1 of each year\, will be commemorated in 2025 during Divine Services on Sunday\, Nov. 2. \nTo attend an All Saints’ Day service\, visit locator.lcms.org/church to find a local Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod congregation. Enter your zip code and click “Search” to see a list of area churches\, service times\, and contact information. \nIf you are homebound\, traveling\, or otherwise unable to attend a service in person\, KFUO Radio airs worship services throughout the church year. Visit KFUO.org to view the schedule and listen to services. \nFind church near me \n\nLiturgical color for All Saints’ Day\nWhite\, which is the color of purity and completeness\, will adorn the altar on All Saints’ Day. This color\, used primarily during these Sundays\, assists in bearing the message that “though your sins be as scarlet\, they shall be white as snow.” Christ’s triumph from the grave on Resurrection day is the cause for our rejoicing. His purity before his Father becomes our purity. White reinforces that message of joy. \n\nThree-Year Series C and One-Year Series\nScripture readings\n\nPsalm 149\n\n\nRevelation 7:(2–8) 9–17\n\n\n1 John 3:1–3\n\n\nMatthew 5:1–12\n\nLectionary summary\nSaints Are Blessed in the Eternal Presence of Christ\n“A great multitude … from every nation\, from all tribes and peoples and languages\,” cry out\, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne” (Rev. 7:9–17). Faith-filled saints from every place and time\, with unified voices\, eternally magnify the Lamb of God. As His beloved children\, we\, too\, “shall see him as he is” (1 John 3:1–3). Joined with the throng of angels and myriad saints\, we shall “serve him day and night in his temple” (Rev. 7:9–17). In our earthly tension vacillating between saint and sinner\, faith and doubt\, sacred and profane\, we earnestly seek Jesus to calm our fears\, comfort our spirits and forgive our sins. The Holy Spirit through faith in Christ propels us forward\, fortifying us in Word and Sacrament\, to our eternal home. In the midst of our constant struggle as believers\, we need to be blessed. And so we are. The poor in spirit\, the meek\, the hungry\, the thirsty\, the merciful\, the pure and the persecuted are all blessed\, and we will most certainly inherit the kingdom of heaven (Matt. 5:1–12). \n\nLCMS Worship\n\nlcms.org/worship\n\n\nWorship planning resources\n\n\nSubscribe to monthly resources email\n\nFind church near me

SUMMARY:FORO — Jamaica (Omaha\, Neb.)
DESCRIPTION:LCMS International Mission will host a FORO about mission work in Jamaica on Nov. 13-14\, 2025\, in Omaha\, Neb. \nWhat is a FORO?\nA FORO — Spanish for “forum” — fosters relationships between missionaries serving on behalf of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS) and mission partners. The meetings facilitate networking\, start conversations\, and focus resources to make disciples of all nations for generations to come. \nWhen do FOROs occur?\nOnce or twice a year\, LCMS missionaries meet with partners — people from churches\, organizations\, schools\, and partner churches — in their mission field. They discuss strategies to make disciples\, address community needs\, emphasize mutual listening\, and encourage shared decision-making. \nWhy are FOROs needed?\nMissionaries don’t only need funding and volunteers.

FOROs help provide those relationships. \nTo learn more about FOROs\, visit international.lcms.org/foro. \n\nContact\nRev.
