Our annual all-ages observance of the Wiccan highest holy day will include rituals marking the end of the harvest, the beginning of winter/New Year, and honoring the dead. Join us for this Samhain service co-facilitated by Elana Floyd-Kennett, Heather O’Malley, and friends. The congregation is encouraged to bring pictures or mementos of their Ancestors and Beloved dead as we create the altar together in the service. Music by CUF choir. (Services are in-person and on Zoom.)

We have a very special human guest for this year’s fun, multi-generational service: UU musician Jim Scott. Jim’s music celebrates our interdependence with all living things, appropriate to this service of gratitude for the blessings received from animal companions. We welcome well-behaved, non-anxious pets** to be with the congregation, and photos of those pets who stay home. Zooming in? — show your pet or photo for a virtual blessing. Music by Jim Scott and CUF Choir, Michael Thompson, Director. **Pets must be on a leash or in a carrier.

With the election season cacophony of voices all around us, we may wish to avoid listening of any kind, let alone deep listening. Rev. Sarah draws from Quaker, Buddhist, and UU teachings in exploring the question: How can we center love, listening deeply to those we do not like?
Music by Laura Van Abbema & Colleen Springer-Lopez. (Services are in-person and on Zoom.)
