Early in November, several holidays are widely celebrated around the world related to remembering, communing with, or praying for the dead, in addition to a number of other similar observances, religious and traditional scattered around the calendar. While the distinguishing features between All Souls Day, Dia De Muertos, Khamis al-Amwat, etc., are many, each expresses the human need to remember and honor those departed. We will begin with a consideration of some of these customs, and end with our own ritual of remembrance. If you have lost someone to death in this past year, you are invited to bring a photo or other momento for this observance.

Speaker: Rev. Sally Beth Shore

The building is wheelchair accessible, dress may be casual and visitors of all ages, races, gender identities, sexual orientations, abilities, and beliefs are warmly welcomed.

Children's Religious Education classes are available during the 9:15 am service. The younger class is for ages 4-7 and the older class is for ages 8 and up. Each class is overseen by two adults and emphasizes fun and enriching activities about how to be a better, more caring person and how to make the world a better place for everyone.
