November 6
The Sunday before Election Day is a good time to invite the wisdom of our ancestors, and to be mindful of the generations that will follow us. This morning, we’ll share in a ritual of remembrance for the authors of our history, and we’ll explore how the things we do today create the history our descendants will know.
All are welcome in worship, whether you’ve registered or not. Your registration ahead of time allows for less congestion at the door on Sunday morning, and it helps us plan for spacing in the sanctuary.
Share the Plate
The Share-the-Plate for Oct. 30 and Nov. 6 will go to Movin’ Out. They provide safe, affordable, community-integrated housing for people with disabilities. They also help families become first time homebuyers and modify their homes to be safe and accessible. Along with Red Caboose, Movin’ Out will be part of a new building in our neighborhood at Union Corners.
