October 30th, 2022 - Remembering our Loved Ones

This Sunday we will acknowledge the time of year when the Northern Hemisphere is experiencing the death of plant life and the southern migration of animals. CLICK SHOW MORE to see today's worship links and information. It is the time of the final fall harvest, when thoughts of death and decay have led various cultures to create festivals that remember and honor the dead. In joining in this remembering and honoring, we will explore how our community cohesively celebrates Samhain, Day of the Dead, All Souls Day, and Halloween. Bring a photo or token of a deceased loved one to place on our altar during our 10:30 am worship service. And, bring your Halloween costume for our 12:00 pm costume parade.
