The Day of the Dead, Halloween, Samhain, and All Souls Day are all different cultural invitations into honoring the transition from life to death, of remembering loved ones we have lost. This Sunday we will host a Memory Tree ritual together for our First Sunday worship at 10:30. After, we will host a handful of First Sunday workshops starting at 11:30 – some online, some in person.

We hope to see you in person! Masks are required. Here is the current in-person gathering policy.
