A glorious company we sing
For all the saints who from their labours rest
Jesus invites his saints (Communion Hymn)
Lo! He comes with clouds descending
Bless and keep us Lord
Many are the lightbeams
The church is like a table (Communion Hymn)
I sing a song of the saints
When the saints go marching in

Prayers:

Most of my prayers this week are coming from Donald Hilton's compilation, "Seasons and Celebrations." Copyright restrictions obviously prevent me from reproducing them here, so I suggest you either write your own, or go out and buy a copy of the book yourself! If you do buy the book, (NCEC, ISBN 0-7197-0887-7) then I suggest you look at numbers 261, 263, 265 (Christine Odell) and 266 (Simon Oxley).

I will also be using (as a prayer of approach) Leslie F. Brandts paraphrase of psalms 147-150 found in "Psalms Now" (CPH Saint Louis, ISBN 0-570-04257-7)

I shall be thinking about ideas for an All-Saints all-age address whilst I am away for half-term building a tree-house at Grandma's. Any bright ideas would be warmly welcomed though!!! Please e-mail them... (any format will do).
