All Saints Sunday ~ November 2, 2025

On All Saints Sunday, November 2, we will honor and remember those who have joined the Communion of Saints. During this service, we will toll a bell for each person from our community who has died in the past year. We will also give thanks for all the saints — the faithful across generations — whose lives have shaped our own. If you would like us to include the name of a family member or loved one who has died since last All Saints Sunday, please send their full name to admin@centumc.org by Wed., October 29.

St. Paul's Front Steps - 815 E. Grace Street

Please join us in a show of sacred solidarity during this time of trial and turmoil in our city, commonwealth, and country. In this brief, simple outdoor service of prayer and praise, we witness to the suffering of the most vulnerable and powerless among us and lift up our lament, fear, and hope to God’s redemptive and healing power. United as One Body, we make known the love and justice of Jesus of Nazareth for the poor, the oppressed, the sick, and the stranger. This service is hosted by St. Paul’s in collaboration with the Downtown Community Ministry. Free parking available in St. Paul’s garage at 111 N. 8^th Street. Contact Rev. Gwynn Crichton (gcrichton@stpaulsrva.org) for more information.
