The subject of heroes is more complex than you might think. To better explore the nuance, I have invited Sal Caraviello to join me in conversation on the topic instead of a traditional sermon. While Sal and I have talked through some general questions, the conversation during worship will be unscripted in the hopes of helping us all find some better questions rather than definitive answers.

Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is a Mexican holiday that mirrors the Christian celebrations of All Saints and All Souls on Nov. 1 and 2. I use the word “mirror” intentionally, because Día de los Muertos encourages us to look at the same thing (remembering those who have died) from a different angle. While our remembrances are typically serious and somber, the Mexican tradition is joyful and fun. Death is the ultimate monster. What can we learn from this celebration by our southern neighbors? Speaking of neighbors, the music that precedes this sermon was written and performed by one of our neighbors, Randall Kromm. You can hear more of Randall’s music on his website,https://www.randallkromm.com

Crawford is collecting extra or unwanted, unopened Halloween candy for “Treats for Troops.” If you have leftover candy following Halloween, bring it to Crawford and leave it in the bin marked “Treats for Troops” on the front steps. We will collect thru Sunday, November 12, before delivering it all to a nearby distribution site.
Our annual Holiday Faire is coming up soon! The members of Crawford Memorial United Methodist Church are hard at work preparing for this year’s Holiday Faire, to be held Saturday, November 11, from 8:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Our home-made apple pies fill our freezer.
