		1 Create Event 12:00a All Saint's Day Drag All Saint's Day\|12:00AM\|"It is believed by many scholars that the commemoration of all the saints on November 1 originated in Ireland, spread from there to England, and then to the continent of Europe. That it had reached Roma and had been adopted there early in the ninth century is attested by a letter of Pope Gregory the Fourth, who reigned from 828 to 844, to Emperor Louis "the Pious," urging that such a festival be observed throughout the Holy Roman Empire.<br> "However, the desire of Christian people to express the intercommunion of the living and the dead in the Body of Christ by a commemoration of those who, having professed faith in the living Christ in days past, had entered into the nearer presence of their Lord, and especially of those who had crowned their profession with heroic deaths, was far older than the early Middle Ages (perhaps first cited in church writings before the year 270)... <br> "All Saints' Day is classed, in the Prayer Book of 1979, as a Principal Feast, taking precedence of any other day or observance. Among the seven so classified, All Saints' Day alone may be observed on the following Sunday, in addition to its observance on its fixed date. It is one of the four days recommended in the Prayer Book (page 312) for the administration of Holy Baptism." 9:00a Office Closed Drag Office Closed \|9:00AM 3:20p Contrary Motionn Drag Contrary Motionn\|3:20PM\|HHS Girls Acapella Group	2 Create Event 12:00a All Soul's Day Drag All Soul's Day\|12:00AM\|"In the New Testament, the word 'saints' is used to describe the entire membership of the Christian community, and in the Collect for All Saints' Day the word 'elect' is used in a similar sense. From very early times, however, the word 'saint' came to be applied primarily to persons of heroic sanctity, whose deeds were recalled with gratitude by later generations.<br> "Beginning in the 10th century, it became customary to set aside another day -- as a sort of extension of All Saints -- on which the Church remembered that vast body of the faithful who, thought no less members of the company of the redeemed, are unknown in the wider fellowship of the Church. It was also a day for particular remembrance of family members and friends.<br> "Though the observance of the day was abolished at the Reformation because of abuses connected with Masses for the dead, a renewed understanding of its meaning has led to a widespread acceptance of this commemoration among Anglicans, and to its inclusion as an optional observance on the calendar of the Episcopal Church." 9:45a Bible Study Drag Bible Study\|9:45AM\|Wednesday morning Bible study is active at 9:45 for prayer and 10:00 for study/discussion 5:30p Choir Practice Drag Choir Practice\|5:30PM\|@ Choir Room\|Our regular Wednesday evening rehearsals are at 5:30 pm in the choir room.
