Scripture: 2 Timothy 1:3-7
This first Sunday of January in the new year, we have started a new tradition - celebrating All Saints' Day. By doing this on the first Sunday of a new year, we are able to celebrate the saints who have gone before us throughout the previous year, remembering their lives and the gifts that they shared with us in the past so that we might move forward in the present to bring about God's Kingdom on earth, and laying a foundation for those who will come after us.
