We will host an in-person and virtual worship service on Sunday, October 31st at 10:15 am.

An All Souls Halloween
At this time of year, it is said the veil between this and the spirit world is thinnest. We honor All Souls this Halloween, holding the dual companions of life and death, with solemnity and a little bit of silliness. We gather in community to hold our losses and learn from our ancestors with honesty and compassion.  We also befriend our fears through fun. Bring your photos of loves ones to place on the altar or send them to Rev. Eileen to share virtually. And if you’d like, those of all ages may wish to wear a costume – ghostly or witchy, creative or kitschy. Rev. Eileen Wiviott leads this service with Worship Associate, Lizzy Powers.

A few important notes about participating in-person:

  1. Everyone over 2 in and around the UCE building will need to be masked.
  2. We will maintain physical distance, which means, chairs will be spaced apart and seating is limited in the sanctuary to 120. We will have overflow seating in room 3 (25) and room 6 (20), to participate in the service through the livestream. Beyond this, there will be seating outside the sanctuary on the south lawn.
  3. Please review our UCE Guidelines for Building Use before Sunday.

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 Mother and Child Alliance, formerly PACPI.
