Celebrate All Saint's Day With Ideas in Our Etsy Store!

October is here! And with that comes Halloween. While there isn’t necessarily anything wrong with dressing up and handing out candy to friends and neighbors, there is another celebration that I would like to highlight, All Saints’ Day. If you aren’t familiar with All Saints’ Day, it falls on November 1 and is meant to show gratitude to God for the lives and deaths of His saints–those who were well-known and those who were not. 

To celebrate this day, our team has created cards that you can print at home and add to a garland across your mantle, on a beautiful fall wreath, or however you wish to use them. There are five saints included in the set of cards, but there are a few blank cards for you to add your own saints who have been influential in your walk with Christ.

We also have a short book called Tales of the Resistance, a collection of stories of heroes of the faith who were able to resist sin and overcome circumstances to help further the gospel. In this book we feature five stories that are meant to inspire, guide, and help you stand strong with Jesus. We have a limited amount left and would love to get a copy into your hands.

Here is an excerpt from the book:

One of my favorite stories about a saint who lived long ago and influenced many people is about a young teenager named Tarore (tah’-rah-reh), who lived among the Maori people in New Zealand. In 1835 the first missionaries arrived in New Zealand. Among them were Alfred and Charlotte Brown. Soon after their arrival they began a mission school to teach the Maori children to read and write in their own language. One of the first students was Tarore the daughter of Ngakuku (nah-ku-kuh), a relative of a famous chief. She was a very bright student who quickly learned to read.

Tarore’s missionary friends gave her a copy of the Gospel of Luke. Tarore treasured her book and carried it safely around her neck in a straw purse. When she returned to her tribe every evening from school, she read the stories of Jesus to anyone who would listen. With fatherly pride, Ngakuku listened to his little girl reading and soon he believed that Jesus’ way to live was better than the rules of his tribe. He gave his life to Christ to follow His way forever.

But times were troubled in the land of the Maori. Fighting was an ongoing way of life among the tribes. The Browns realized they needed to move the mission school to a safer location, and some Maori children were allowed to go with them to continue their schooling. Led by Tarore’s father, the missionaries and the children caravanned to the new location, camping along the way at night.

One evening, their cooking fires attracted the attention of a neighboring tribe. Later, when all were sleeping, warriors crept toward them intending to kill the entire group…

You can order both of these products through our Etsy store.

I hope these products bring you joy and help you celebrate All Saints’ Day this year!
