The butterfly effect is a theory that states that a butterfly can flap its wings and set air molecules in motion that, in turn, will move other air molecules–which will then move additional air molecules–eventually becoming able to influence weather patterns on the other side of the planet. 

The butterfly effect. It’s a wonderful image for All Saints’ Sunday, because it’s a reminder that our actions and words shape other people and the world in which we live. And, it’s a reminder that we have all felt the brush of butterfly wings with our saints, who made a difference in our lives.

Last Sunday, worshippers were invited to write the names of their saints on butterflies that adorned the sanctuary. If you were not able to join us, take some time today to remember and honor your saint. Whose wings have brushed you and made a difference in your life?
