WORSHIP SERVICE
"Remembering Our Ancestors: A Day of the Dead,
All Souls, Samhain Service of Remembrance"
Sunday, November 1, 10:50 am, 2026
Rev. Vanessa Rush Southern, Senior Minister, preaching
​​​​​
Increasingly people are talking about "our ancestors." Whether the folks being named are members of our family of origin or part of the larger family of those who shaped our nation, neighborhood, or some corner of the world important to us, we are remembering in these moments that we stand on others' shoulders. And we are inspired, regrounded, humbled, and emboldened by this act of remembering. As we gather this Sunday to honor our loved ones and the ancestors we wish to acknowledge, we invite you to bring a photo of your deceased loved one to add to the ofrenda (altar). Together, we will celebrate the thinning of the veil and the connections that transcend time.
