A hymn often sung for All Saints’ Sunday opens with the words, “I sing a song of the saints of God...” and numbers among the saints doctors, soldiers, sailors, teachers and even shepherdesses and queens. But to this list should also be added those members of our congregations who have served for years with distinction and commitment.
