Remembering our Loved Ones

This Sunday we will acknowledge the time of year when the Northern Hemisphere is experiencing the death of plant life and the southern migration of animals. It is the time of the final fall harvest, when thoughts of death and decay have led various cultures to create festivals that remember and honor the dead. In joining in this remembering and honoring, we will explore how our community cohesively celebrates Samhain, Day of the Dead, All Souls Day, and Halloween. Bring a photo or token of a deceased loved one to place on our altar during our 10:30 am worship service. And, bring your Halloween costume for our 12:00 pm costume parade.

We will host an in-person and virtual worship service on Sunday, October 30th at 10:30 am.

Please submit your Joys and Sorrows through this online form. If you submit a message by 9 am, we will try to read it that Sunday. Thank you for your patience as we are adapting to best serve you all! Note there will only be one service time so that we can gather together as a whole community of faith. You can still give to the shared offering through “text to give,” mail a check to the office with “shared offering” in the memo line, or go to our website and hit “give” on the upper right or click here. This Sunday’s shared offering recipient is the Unitarian Universalist Prison Ministry of Illinois (UUPMI)
