Fathers’ Day, like Mothers’ Day, can be a difficult celebration for many people. Our All Saints community recognizes this, and that’s why we celebrate our fathers. We have all had fathers—good or bad—but without them we wouldn’t be here. And of course, we’re also reminded of our Heavenly Father—who is THE perfect Father. Without Him, we couldn’t navigate life like we do. In the end, it is our Heavenly Father that we turn to for real love, grace, peace and mercy. This Sundaywe’re celebrating the fact that we have a love relationship with our Heavenly Father. And…we thank God for our own fathers too. The Bible reading for this Sunday is from the book of Revelation, reminding us not to forget the love we have for our Father in Heaven.
So come, join us as we worship the triune God together. Here’s the announcement:
