P.S. This is a public place on the Internet for the whole world to read so I'm posting this explanation below for the world to see.
For anyone who wonders why Halloween could be religious, here is the explanation. November the 1st is always All Saints' Day. Ya say a prayer for the saints at the service. The evening before All Saints' Day is called All Saints' Evening or All Saints' Eve or All Hallows' Eve. Also known as Halloween.

Just like you have Christmas Day and you have Christmas Eve, churches also have All Saints' Day and All Saints' Eve.

 

Church Announcement​

Please attend. Everyone.
We need to set a start day for our general membership meeting. Setting the date is Discussed here. The Meeting will be held in the Business forum thread.
This will be a general membership meeting that will be combined with a board of directors' meeting. Two in one.

There is no old business and nothing on the agenda. Should be a short meeting. Unless anyone has some topic that they might care to bring up and discuss.

Thanks all. All are welcome. Stand By.

What does one do or how does one worship for Halloween. All Hallows' Eve. Well let start with a thought of what Hallows means. You'll remember, "Hallow would be Thy Name," from the Lord's Prayer.

-----*-----​

Etymology 1[edit]
From Middle English halwe (“a saint, holy thing, shrine”), from Old English hālga (“saint”), from Proto-Germanic *hailagô (“holy one”), from *hailagaz (“holy”), from Proto-Germanic *hailaz (“whole, safe, hale”), from Proto-Indo-European *koil- (“safe, unharmed”). Cognate with Scots halow, hallow (“saint”), German Heilige (“saint”). More at holy, whole.
Noun[edit]
hallow (plural hallows)

1. (archaic or dialectal) A saint; a holy person; an apostle. All Hallows Eve (or Halloween), the night before All Hallows Day (now more commonly known as "All Saints Day").

Etymology 2[edit]
From Middle English halwen (“to hallow, sanctify”), from Old English hālgian (“to hallow, sanctify, make holy”), from Proto-Germanic *hailagōną (“to make holy”), from *hailagaz (“holy”), from Proto-Germanic *hailaz (“whole, safe, hale”), from Proto-Indo-European *koil- (“safe, unharmed”). Cognate with Dutch heiligen (“to hallow”), German heiligen (“to bless”). More at holy.
Verb[edit]
hallow (third-person singular simple present hallows, present participle hallowing, simple past and past participle hallowed)
(transitive) To make holy, to sanctify.

-----*-----​

So, then now it is this season we have, Nov 1, All Saints Day, wherein one prays for all of the Deceased who are Above in Heaven as Saints.

Remember

"As Above So Below"​

?​

And then we have Nov 2nd which is All Souls' Day, wherein one prays for all of the Deceased people that have ever lived and died that they may all be taken up into Heaven. Some folk believe that they go there immediately while others may believe that they lay in the ground or some believe that they may be held in a Purgatory until they are raised up.

Regardless, we here and now pray for everyone who ever was and who ever will be. Holy Holy Holy. ​

"As Above So Below"​

On The Good Earth as it is in Heaven​

​

May all Love surround you.​

Peace be unto you.​

One day older than yesterday.... Way to go. man. Congrats.

 

Thanks Tyrsonwood. You're the Best. Thank you, Really.

Glad that you came in. Please stay tuned.
I don't want to distract from the normal flow of conversation over in the other thread space so I thought that I'd create a party space here in this space. Don't want to overwhelm it over there. So to speak.

Should be a great party. And hopefully many folks will get to know each other even better, over here, and also meet some people who generally come by here in this thread. Meet some new friends. That's my wish.

Just one day older. A whole year better.

 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY,KENNY.. :bandana:
I probably will join in the party..

 

Happy birthday Ranger and Kenny. Have a great one!! Roll on.

I was out of pocket for the festivities.. looks like everyone survived the soiree.

I see there are a few bottles of Rum left unopened. Perhaps we should open them and toast to Kenny and Mary Jo's mini vaca. Have a ball you guys.

Hot Buttered Rum or Pina Colada. I'll roast a pig with sweet taters and we can light the fire pit and cozy on up to the fire while we listen to Trailer Trash ( Ellen's band) and some down home boggie.

Sunday. We usually do some little sort of a service. Perhaps later on. Mike Bedell had requested some service things.

Yes, Mary Jo And I are in Santa Fe. 7,260 foot elevation. Brrrrrr. in the 50s and 60s. Where we live it's in the high 80s. LOL
La Villa Real de la Santa Fe de San Francisco de Asís, the Royal Town of the Holy Faith of Saint Francis of Assisi.

Fun.
Party on!

 

lots of Santa Fe

Yes, that is exactly where we are.

That's the Basilica cathedral as seen from the southeast corner of the main Plaza. We were right there. It's three blocks south of where we are staying. This town was first founded back in 1610. Wow. We went to see the oldest house in America, yesterday.

The food here is great!
