This Sunday we mark the th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation, a day packed with beautiful images, deep-seeded ideas, and a rich history. Reformation Sunday is a day focused on knowing God truthfully and in the process understanding who we are as people of faith and children of God in light of God's unbelievable grace. The Rev.

Martin Luther was an Augustinian monk and professor of theology who spent a great deal of time trying to know who God was and to find ways of expressing what he came to know and believe so that others would know God too. He was as we are, both saint and sinner, a person who used coarse language, drank beer, and wrote hymns using tunes people knew and recognized. When he wrote his catechism he used language his small son could understand.

He even translated the Bible into the language people spoke. Truth about God and our faith, as complex as it is, should be something we can grasp and wrestle with. Reformation Sunday is certainly a festival day where we celebrate and remember history, but it should also be a day to reexamine our faith. Part of that is recognizing the truth about our inadequacies, our failings, and our sinfulness.

The law is like a mirror in a room with intense fluorescent lights; it shows us who we are with every flaw and wrinkle. But God doesn't look at us in that mirror. The truth about God brings us new knowledge about ourselves. God shines a new light on us, where iniquities are forgiven and sins forgotten.

The message of Reformation Sunday is God's love for us. It is a love that frees us and redefines us as people of God and as members of the whole body of Christ. In God's eyes, we are beautiful. Come to worship to share in a liturgy that will be used around the world this Sunday.

At am we have a special Chorale Eucharist with our choir singing liturgical selections from Gordon Young's "Missa Exultate" throughout the service. This collection of seven songs was written by the prolific American composer over organ and choral pieces in his lifetime between and All Saints Sunday. In worship we will give thanks for all the saints who have died in the faith.

W e will pray and light candles for our departed family and friends, knowing that we are surrounded by a great, rejoicing cloud of witnesses who showed us the meaning of life in Christ. Please share the names of those who have died in the past year that you would like included in our Book of Remembrance and named in our prayers by contacting Parish Administrator Deb Hoyt at allsaints metrocast.

America's problem with race has deep roots, with the country's foundation tied to the near extermination of one race of people and the enslavement of another.

Racism is truly our nation's original sin. In is book Wallis offers a prophetic and deeply personal call to action in overcoming the racism so ingrained in American society. He speaks candidly to Christians--particularly white Christians--urging them to cross a new bridge toward racial justice and healing.

We are accepting monetary donations the next three Sundays, Oct.

Hank was familiar with our area as he had previously been introduced to the lakes region when visiting a college fraternity brother. In , Hank chose our beautiful area to ask Kathy's hand in marriage. Of course she said yes, and they were married the following year.

The Why's bought a summer home in Wolfeboro in , and retired here from Villanova, Pa. They have been blessed with three children, two boys and a girl. They regularly worship at 8 AM, and Kathy has been a volunteer with Lord and Tailor for several years. She and Sandi Johnson are currently co-chairing that organization. They will return to their home here during the summer months. Hank laughed when he stated that they will become snow birds, but still will be living in the snow.

However they will be closer to their children. We are grateful that this wonderful couple have worshipped with us for many years, and we look forward to their return to Wolfeboro and All Saints when the crocus and daffodils bloom. The above photo was taken on August 17, Dania, Max, Nia, and Ryan Jones. The above photo was was taken on Oct. The Jones family will soon be moving to Costa Rica. This family will be greatly missed.

The above photo was taken Dec. In the above photo taken on Dec. Another project is finished. The Name Tag area has been refurbished with the old holders. A fresh coat of paint has given the area a new look thanks to our Property Committee holy rollers Dianne Wasmuth, and Peter Walker. Mark McLaughlin affixed a piece of plexi-glass in front of each row so each name tag now sits nicely in the holders. The new name tags have been printed with "All Saints, Wolfeboro" on them, and are reinforced with a piece of chipboard so they will not flop over or bend.

If you find that there is no new name tag for you or someone you know, please sign the paper at the tag area and Deb will check this to ensure the tags are done. If you have an old name tag, you can drop that into the bin at the greeter area to be re-used. Name tags for Vestry and other church roles will be forthcoming. In the above photo taken on Oct. Bill emphasized unconditional love, forgiveness, and thanksgiving.

The photo below of Women's Worship on Oct. She is a thirty one-year-old carer at the beginning of the novel, although she is preparing to soon become a donor. Kathy has worked as a carer for nearly twelve years, much longer than most of the students with whom she grew up at Hailsham. Although she is still a relatively young adult, she has outlived most of her childhood friends.

Kathy spends her days looking backwards, recalling her memories of the people that she has lost. Through these memories, the novel traces her complex relationships with her Hailsham friends Tommy and Ruth. However, Kathy is also an unreliable narrator.

Her account is subjective, presenting events from only her point of view. She does not recall events in strict chronological order, frequently interrupting one memory to share a related memory from another period in her life. She often states that she may be misremembering certain details. At times, she also admits that Tommy or Ruth recalled a particular event or conversation differently than she does.

These idiosyncrasies reflect the unreliability of memory itself, which is necessarily incomplete and episodic. At the same time, Kathy is also an unreliable narrator because she carefully guards her own feelings. Kathy never explicitly states the depths of her feelings for Tommy, for instance, although her love becomes increasingly clear as the narrative unfolds. For instance, Kathy often expresses her anger with Ruth by walking away rather than explicitly confronting her.

As a student at Hailsham, Kathy exhibits restraint and self-consciousness. She often worries about being seen or overheard, especially in conversation with Tommy.
