Wolf Weekly November 2-6, 2026
Run with the Pack: Weekly News from the Wolves’ Den!
Dear God,
Thank You for bringing us the autumn leaves as they change colours. We appreciate You as the days get shorter and the nights get colder with the crisp air. We also want to thank You for our cozy blankets and families coming together. Thank You for Your endless blessings and guidance You give us.
As it says in Joel 2:23, "Be glad, people of Zion, rejoice in the Lord your God, for He has given you the autumn rains because He is faithful. He sends you abundant showers, both autumn and spring rains, as before".
We ask You that as the leaves fall from the trees, help us let go of our worries and struggles to help us find peace. We wish that You give friends and family fun times and spooky treats filled with laughter and love. When we walk through the neighborhood with our family and friends during the Halloween season please make sure we are safe and warm.
In Your name we pray, Amen.

LIVING THE MISSION: FAITH AT THE HEART OF OUR PACK
Faith Fact Friday!
All Hallows' Eve (which turned into the word "Halloween"), means the "holy evening" right before All Saints' Day on November 1.
October 31 is primarily celebrated in the Catholic Church as All Hallows’ Eve (the vigil of All Saints' Day) and marks the start of the three-day observance known as Allhallowtide (October 31–November 2), which leads into All Saints' Day on November 1 and All Souls' Day on November 2
-All Saints’ Day, also known as All Hallows’ Day, is a festival observed on November 1 by Christians, the day after Halloween. The day is dedicated to the saints of the Church, that is, all those who have attained heaven. It should not be confused with All Souls' Day, which is observed on November 2, and is dedicated to those who have died and not yet reached heaven.
-To celebrate the day, people visit the graves of their loved ones and offer flowers. In countries like Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Italy and Mexico, people usually offer flowers on the graves of their loved ones. On the other hand, in countries like Austria, Poland and Romania; people light candles on the graves of their family members. In the Philippines, graves are also cleaned and repaired.
In Latin communities, people visit the graves along with a feast and this includes the foods loved by the deceased.
