VERSE OF THE WEEK

Bible Verse for the Week of November 1, 2026

 Revelation 21:4
He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.

All Saints' Sunday
All Saints' Day celebrates those who are in heaven. There are various accounts of its origins. In the 7th century, Pope Boniface IV established Al Saints' Day, originally on May 13. In the 8th century Pope Gregory III moved the annual feast to November 1, perhaps in part to supplant pagan holidays with a Christian observance. The day after All Saints' Day, November 2, was later designated as All Souls' Day, devoted to praying for the souls of all the faithful departed.

We pray for the saints from Benicia Lutheran Church that have passed on this past year:
