This month, we’re diving into the Soul Matters Theme of healing, inspired by the Hindu tradition of Diwali—the Festival of Lights, which celebrates the triumph of light over darkness. As winter approaches and days get shorter, this celebration offers a wonderful perspective: healing doesn’t have to wait for the sun to shine brightly; it begins with a small, intentional lamp lit in the darkness. We will also honor Veterans and their families during this special service.

20261101 Marigolds and Memory
All Saints Day and the start of Día de los Muertos (Nov 1–2) converge on this Sunday. Both traditions treat remembering the dead by name as an act that heals the living. We will honor those who continue to live in our hearts and lives with an altar of memory. Bring a picture(s) of those you wish to honor to place on our altar of love. And, on the Sunday before an important election, we pause to consider the legacies we embody as we seek to shape the future of our country by voting!

Of Shadows, Light, and Love
On the Sunday closest to Halloween/Samhain, we honor the time when the boundary between the living and the dead grows porous—giving us honest ground to consider the courage it takes to face mortality, grief, and fear directly rather than costume them away.
