This sunday will talk about the traditions of Día de Muertos and explore how honoring our departed loved ones with joy and love transforms grief into a beautiful, life-affirming celebration of community.

This morning’s service explores the idea that even the briefest of encounters can change a life. For as George Eliot wrote in Middlemarch, “What do we live for, if it is not to make like less difficult for each other?”

In a season often dedicated to gratitude, this morning’s service explores the idea that we need not be grateful for every experience in order to cultivate deep gratitude for the life that contains them.
