Season of Saints 2017 — Series Overview

This year, rather than holding a Season of Saints as lead-in to All Saints, we’re following the lectionary readings to support a Season of Saints that starts with All Saints and culminates with Christ the King. This series could also be used to support Extended or Early Advent, starting with All Saints and using A Season of Saints resources during November. What is the primary distinguishing mark of the stories saints tell? They are stories of deliverance, stories of salvation, and never stories merely of personal or family accomplishment. How will God help you tell your story the way the saints do?
