Quick Summary:

All Saints Sunday is all about LEGACY. We celebrate the faithful witness of all those people throughout the history of the church, who have given themselves to living out the Gospel in their specific times and places. This includes the names of ordinary folk who were captured by grace and caught up in God’s unfolding story. Today we add three living saints to the list--three boys who will be claimed by Christ in the waters of baptism.

When the Triune God meets these three boys in the water of this font, their story and their family both expand exponentially as they’re grafted into the body of Christ, and become kin to one another and kin to us. They get a new name and legacy to add to the ones they’ve already got—BELOVED SON OF GOD.
