Preaching: All Saints' Day- John 11:32-44

My Journal - Agatha Nolen

Osamu Fujimura by Bruce Herman

November 1 is All Saints’ Day where we celebrate the Communion of Saints. We’ve lost many loved ones these past 20 months and we’ve had little time to grieve. This is my last week of Preaching class at Duke Divinity School and I chose to preach on the Gospel reading for today from the Gospel of John. We’ll be moving the actual celebration to next Sunday so that we can celebrate together and welcome new members into our church through baptism.

It’s a little over 10 minutes long. I’d appreciate your feedback on the message and the delivery of the sermon. It has been a wonderful class and I’ve learned so much, and I hope to continue to hone the craft of preaching in the years to come.
