Spiritual traditions worldwide speak of people’s nonmaterial essence continuing beyond physical death. So in this season of Day of the Dead (native to Mexico) and the pagan holy day Samhain (now aka All Hallows Eve or Halloween), this service explores what may lie beyond this mortal realm. You’re invited to bring photos or mementos of deceased loved ones for the Remembrance table(s). It’s prudent to add a small note/sticker on the back identifying it as yours, so you can be notified if it’s forgotten (it happens). If online, you could have your memento(s) with you that morning.
Worship leader: Rev. Peter Farriday
Special music: Four Shillings Short
