Today we are focusing on a message that lies at the heart of both the Jewish and Christian faiths, namely the central importance of loving
God whole-heartedly and loving our neighbour as ourself. While we are probably all familiar with these words, the great challenge is in living them out in a consistent and committed manner. As today is the closest Sunday to All Saints Day, we will also have the opportunity during the service to remember those people who have inspired us in our faith but who are no longer with us.
