WELCOME TO REFORMATION SUNDAY

It is the 500th anniversary (October 31,

1517) of Luther nailing 95 theses disputing

the sale of indulgences to the church door of

the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany,

the act that sparked the Protestant Refor-

mation. At 10:30 service the choir will pre-

sent two anthems “We Have Built This

House on Grace” and “Salvation Unto Us

Has Come” (one verse in German) to mark the day.

ELEVATOR NOTICE! There have been some issues

with the doors not staying open long enough to allow

people in or out. Here is the solution! When you press

the button to open the elevator...HOLD the button. It

will keep the doors open until you release the button.

There is a button on the panel inside the elevator that

looks like this: <> Press and hold that button to allow

enough time to get out. If you are in a wheel chair ask

an usher to assist you or bring a friend to help you. To

avoid costly repairs, please, under no circumstances

shove the accordion door open if it is closing.

[In Mexico] On October 31, All Hallows Eve, the children make a children's altar to invite the angelitos (spirits of dead children) to come back for a visit. November 1 is All Saints Day, and the adult spirits will come to visit. November 2 is All Souls Day, when families go to the cemetery to decorate the graves and tombs of their relatives. The three-day fiesta is filled with marigolds, the flowers of the dead; muertos (the bread of the dead); sugar skulls; cardboard skeletons; tissue paper decorations; fruit and nuts; incense, and other traditional foods and decorations. —Frances Ann Day, Latina and Latino Voices in Literature
