Each year we gather at the start of November to honor all of our beloveds that have died. We name the impact that they continue to have on our lives. We aim to feel more connected to them. And to share that connection with each other in community. You are encouraged to bring photos of your loved ones if you wish. There will be time for sharing

This year we will also offer an opportunity to receive communion, a ritual that connects us to all those who have ever received it and all those who will receive it in the future. May it draw us closer to those we have loved and lost. May it draw us closer to each other. 

This service will be intergenerational, participatory and ritual heavy.

Here’s the video of this Service:
