Día de los Muertos / The Day of the Dead Celebration
Sunday, October 29, 2023, 10 am
You are invited to this special Día de los Muertos/ The Day of the Dead Celebration this Sunday October 29 at 10 am based on the traditional Mexican holiday. We will again create an altar to honor those who have gone before us in the faith. You are invited to bring photos of your loved ones and/or someone you’d like to honor to be placed on the altar. They will be up through the All Saints Sunday, Nov. 5th. Let us remember members of our family, friends and church who were important to our lives.
The Veils Are Thin: Connecting to the Other Side
Nearly every culture has celebrated this time in their own unique ways! We will be honoring and celebrating Día de los Muertos / The Day of the Dead. Mexican culture celebrates the Day of the Dead by gathering around the gravesite to honor and remember the dead. They acquaint themselves with the reality of death as part of the fabric of life.
We invite you to pass the veils between the worlds. In this meeting place of “between” the world, the living and the dead meet to celebrate the mysterious and magical place of the Kingdom of God. The Christian belief in the “Communion of Saints” is an acknowledgment of the reality of the living communing with the ancestors.

Rumor has it that the “Uninvited Visitor” got a facelift and is eager to show off its new look.
Oh, by the way, it has a new message to deliver from the other side.
