Almighty God, you have knit together your elect in one communion and fellow-

Tiffany Window Tours The busy tours of the

sanctuary and Tiffany

Windows are coming to an

end as October winds

down. We have had visi-

tors from all over the

United States, Canada,

and Europe. These tours

could not have been

successful without the assistance of Cathy

Schlickman, the tour guides Mary Arm-

strong, Cheryl Vahl, Laurinda Brimeyer

and Morgan Frazer and many from the

church who helped as visitors came in

daily to view the Tiffany Windows.

We heard many comments like: “they are

beautiful,” “I have never seen anything

like these,” it is so serene,” “what a beauti-

ful place to worship” and compliment after

compliment. It was an honor to host these

people and make us aware of the treasures

we have in our church.

The proceeds from the tours make it possi-

ble to repair the windows that are in need

of attention to last another 100 years.

Submitted by Betty Phillips, Historian

O n November 6, 1833, Barton

Randle preached the first sermon

on Iowa soil. In honor of this

anniversary, there will be a church tour

on November 8, 9:30-10:30 a.m., held in

the sanctuary led by church historian

Betty Phillips and Laurinda Brimeyer.

They will be pointing out our numerous

"treasures" and telling the stories behind

many of them. All interested people are

invited to attend!

Called to Remember All Saint’s Sunday

(A representative of each family of those being memorialized

is invited to come and sit in the front pews. As your loved one’s

name is read, you are invited to light a memorial candle.)

Reader 1: Ever-living God, this day revives in us memories of loved ones

who are present with us no more. What happiness we shared

when they walked among us. What joy when, loving and being

loved, we lived our lives together.

Congregation: Their memory is a blessing forever.

Reader 2: Months or years may have passed, and still we feel near to

them. Our hearts yearn for them. Though the bitter grief has

softened, a duller pain abides; for the place where once they

stood is empty now. The links of life are broken, but the links

of love and longing cannot break.

Congregation: Their souls are bound up in ours

forever.

Reader 1: We see them now with the eye of memory, their faults

forgiven, their virtues grown larger. So does goodness live, and

weakness fade from sight. We remember them with gratitude

and bless their names.


Reader 2: And we remember as well the members who but yesterday

were part of our congregation and community. To all who

cared for us and labored for all people, we pay tribute. May we

prove worthy of carrying on the tradition of our faith, for now

the task is ours.

Congregation: Their souls are bound up in ours

forever.

mailto:[email protected]

Reader 1:

Gracious and victorious God, we give you thanks that they

now live and reign with you. Hear now, as we read the names

of those for whom we give thanks this day.

We name before you these who were connected to St. Luke’s

United Methodist Church of whose funeral service or

memorial service was conducted by our clergy, and,

who during the past twelve months, have departed from this life

to join the Church Triumphant: (As each name is read, a representative of that family will step

to the worship center and light a memorial candle.)

Reader 2: For the memory of these, O God, we give you thanks.


Reader 1: Most merciful God, we pause in silence to remember others

from our families, from our communities, and from our net-

works of friends, who, during the past twelve months, have

departed from this life to join the Church Triumphant.

(A candle is lit during a moment of silence.) For the memory

of these, O God, we give you thanks.
