On this All Saints Day
We sing a song of the saints of God,
Who bravely loved.
They loved God and they lived that love,
It was love that made them and others whole.
They lived not only in ages past,
There are hundreds and thousands still.
The world is filled with living saints.
Adapted from a Lesbia Scott hymn
*OPENING HYMN #299
“For All the Saints”
Sine Nomine
A CALL TO PRAYER
Dave Zumeta
We are not to worry about how to begin praying, God will show each of us our way. It is our
peculiar, particular, freely given response that God wants, not some pre-packaged formula,
some assembly line product.
By Ann Ulanov
SILENCE
“In the silence there is a presence.”
Douglas Steere
THANKSGIVING (unison)
For our natural will is to have God, and God’s good will is to have us, and we can
never stop willing or loving until we possess God in the fullness of joy.
by Julian of Norwich

WELCOME MICHELE GARNETT MCKENZIE- SECOND HOUR PRESENTER
Michele Garnett McKenzie is the Advocacy Director at The Advocates for Human Rights. She
received her J. D. cum laude from the University of Minnesota Law School and her B. A. from
Macalester College. Ms. McKenzie joined the staff of The Advocates in 1999 as a staff attorney

PEANUT BUTTER
Kids love peanut butter and lots of families with children are using Joyce Food shelf right now. So let’s
see how many jars of peanut butter we can donate to them this month. Consider picking up an extra
jar next time you shop. There are lots of varieties out there and all of them taste good when you are
hungry.
ADVENT REFLECTIONS ON GRACE
As a follow-up to our sessions with Karen Hering, the Worship Committee would like to compile a
collection of your reflections and writings on Grace in time for the Advent session. Please consider
sharing your writings, poems, reflections with the Judson community. You can forward your
contributions to Polly Schrom, [email protected]. We would appreciate receiving your pieces
by November 20th. We have gathered quotes, poems and other resources related to Grace to
hopefully assist you and here is a link to that resource: Grace (http://www.judsonchurch.org/wpcontent/uploads/2014/10/Grace_Resources_Final.pdf). Copies can also be found at the back of the
sanctuary. Thank you!

JUDSON MUSIC SERIES PRESENTS THE HOLOCAUST CANTATA, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 9 AT 4 PM
The Judson Music Series presents a very special concert performance of the moving Holocaust Cantata,
songs from the camps, a haunting homage to the stories of victims of the concentration camps in music
and in their own words. The Judson Choir is directed by John De Haan and will be joined by
renowned soloists Phillip Zawisza, baritone, Beth Bayley, soprano and April Hanson, mezzo soprano,
Jim Wentink, piano and Ben Osterhouse, cello. Presented on the 86th anniversary of Kristallnacht, the
concert will last a little under one hour and a free-will offering (suggested $10) will be gratefully
accepted to help offset music costs.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
NOVEMBER MISSION OF THE MONTH– The Advocates for Human Rights
After reviewing the wonderful work this organization does, the Missions committee decided to
choose The Advocates for Human Rights as our November Mission of the Month. Ann will give a
brief overview of the organization during the "Call To Offering" on Sunday, November 2nd. The
Advocates for Human Rights is an international network of volunteers, partners, supporters, board
members, and staff. It is an independent and nonpartisan nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization that
investigates and exposes human rights violations; represents immigrants and refugees seeking asylum;
trains and assists groups that protect human rights; and uses research, education, and advocacy to
engage the public, policy-makers, and children in human rights work. The Advocates for Human
Rights organization envisions a world in which every person lives with dignity, freedom, justice,
equality, and peace. They also believe that each one of us has a part to play in building respect for
human rights and expanding the human rights movement.
“GREAT GATHERINGS” AND MORE SILENT AUCTION SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 2014—12 NOON
Some "GREAT GATHERING EVENTS" in the past have been: hosting a meal, lutefisk dinner,
brunch, popover luncheon, tea, picnic, barbecue, and a tasting (whiskey or scotch). Other fun events
include: skating party, sledding party, slumber party, pizza party, backyard weenie roast, dessert and
book gathering, an off the grid weekend, cabin get-away, housing opportunity in Florida, sing-a-long,
concert tickets, tours, garage sales, and much more. In order to make this a Judson "fundraising"
success we need fun and exciting offerings by Judson people. There are forms on the table at the
back of the sanctuary. Just fill out the form and drop it in the Green box. Or, take home a form fill it
out, bring back to church or email Kathy Urbaniak at: [email protected] with your Great
Gatherings offering. Please submit them no later than midnight, Sunday, November 2nd .
ART AND CRAFT SALE
On Sunday, November 16, in concert with bidding on Great Gatherings, there will also be an
opportunity for artists and crafters to share and sell your work. Because this is viewed as a fundraiser,
we invite each participant to donate a portion of the proceeds to benefit Judson Church. We will
leave it to the participants to determine the contribution, but we'd like to invite you to consider a 25%
donation. If you are interested in participating, please contact Karla McGray by Thursday, November
13th and have your work delivered to the church no later than Saturday morning at 9:00 a.m.,
November 15th. Our hope is that this provides another avenue for giving to Judson Church by
sharing your talent and gifts. Thanks in advance to all who decide to participate!
