All Saints’ Sunday

Almighty God, you have knit together your elect in one communion and fellowship in the mystical body of your Son Christ our Lord: Give us grace so to follow your blessed saints in all virtuous and godly living, that we may come to those ineffable joys that you have prepared for those who truly love you; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one God, in glory everlasting. Amen.

Representations of the saints fill the building of Saint Thomas, from the reredos, to the woodwork, to the windows, to the exterior. Above: Saint James, Saint Andrew, and Saint Peter are found at the Fifth Avenue entrance along the south rail.

Included in this Festal Eucharist are hymns sung by the congregation and choir, additional music sung exclusively by the choir, lessons, prayers, a sermon, and a Rite I Mass. All baptized Christians are welcome to receive Holy Communion. Details of the service may be seen in the leaflet, which is posted at the bottom of this page, where you can also find links to the webcast during and after the service.

‚ñ∫As we approach the concert of Brahms Requiem on November 8, and Remembrance Day on November 11, the Rector answers the question Why do we pray for the dead? in his weekly audio message.

‚ñ∫Today begins Week Five of the 2013 Every Member Canvass. If you are one of the many hundreds who regularly listen to Sunday services on the webcasts, won’t you join those of us in the pews by making yourself known to us with a contribution to sustain the ministry of Saint Thomas? You can pledge online here. Thank you to everyone who has already pledged.

►Saint Thomas has just released a new CD of the Fauré Requiem. Read more and order your copy.
