Service: Canvass Sunday with Kate English and MaryBeth East
Day and Time
Sunday Oct 13, 10:30 AM - 11:30 AMDetails
Please join us for our annual Canvass Kickoff Sunday where we will be examining in depth the named UU value of Justice. During a time when many feel democracy is under threat, the UU value of justice invites us to work to build diverse multicultural Beloved Communities where all thrive using inclusive democratic processes to make decisions within our congregations. Pledging our funds and services is part of our internal democratic process and how we "live" justice. This Sunday we will be asked to examine our relationship and responsibilities to the value of justice.

Service: Day of the Dead: A Collaborative Service with Constancia Leshin and Ruth Ricards
Day and Time
Sunday Oct 27, 10:30 AM - 11:30 AMDetails
It is believed that at the end of October, the veil between the earthly plane and the spirit world is thin. The two worlds become connected making it easier for those who have departed to cross over to the land of the living. The Days of the Dead honors them and their lives. For two special days on October 1st and 2nd, we gather together and laugh, cry, tell and share stories. We eat their favorite foods and drink special drinks. It is a real life-centered celebration! Join Ruth and Constancia on Sunday, October 27th, bring a small photo of someone you would like to honor and place it on our altar/"ofrenda". We would love for you to join us!
