SUMMARY:Celebration of the Saints\, November 1\, 2026
DESCRIPTION:All Saints’ Day falls on All Saints’ Sunday this year. In honor of those who have completed their baptisms\, we bring back our popular celebration of Saints with a luminaria display at San Gabriel Presbyterian Church. Surrounded by this great cloud of witnesses\, will continue our tradition of collecting non-perishable food on this evening for Helping Hands of Georgetown\, Texas\, as well as cash donations to fill their food pantry. \nSince 2020\, we have celebrated Saints on All Saints’ Day. Starting in 2025\, we began to devote our entire service to the celebration. Like last year\, we plan to worship outdoors in the columbarium of Partner Church San Gabriel Presbyterian Church. The lanterns are both prepared and funded by the Wholeness Community\, as a gift to the Georgetown\, Texas area. Watch for a call-out for remberances\, which we will collect until October 29 this year. \nWhat are you seeking? Our subject for 2026-27 is “What areyou Seeking?” It is based on the Community of Taizé’s theme for calendar year 2026\, “Que cherches-tu ?” In his introductory letter\, Br. Matthew considersthe first words of Jesus from the book of John\, “What are you seeking?” Taizé is a monastic community that ministers to youth and young adults worldwide\, and so Br. Matthew shared this question with a group of six young volunteers from six different countries spread over four continents. His letter describes their answers and his reflections on them: \n\nSeeking silence\nSeeking a direction\nSeeking joy\nSeeking meaning\nSeeking a just world\nSeeking a community\n\nWith these six topics in mind\, brief homilies will be prepared by pastors and lay speakers in our worship team. Scripture will be selected for meditation based on each topic. \nAbout the Wholeness Service:The Georgetown Ecumenical Wholeness Service is a candlelight contemplative prayer meeting that takes place once per month\, 9-10 months per year. We pray together by using two very special types of worship templates: the Service of Healing and Wholeness and Taizé Common Prayers. We are led by a diverse community of area Christians\, and these services are open to all who would come. Songs are sung from the Community of Taizé. Opportunities are given for intercessory prayer and the lighting of candles. A time is set aside for private prayer and anointing with oil. Communion is offered to all in attendance\, with gluten-free elements available. \nAbout the songs: Taizé Prayer chants are congregational\, made of short phrases that are repeated for ease of participation. In our services\, we always sing in English\, but for an idea of how the songs sound\, please enjoy this YouTube playlist.  \nWe hope to see you\, our friends and neighbors\, in 2026-2027.
