We are going through historic hard times right now, and we have before. What stories do we remember from difficult times and what lessons do we pass down?

We gather today an all ages service to celebrate our ancestral traditions through story-telling and breaking bread together.
“Alzheimer’s disease has been described as “the great unlearning.” In a society that so greatly values the intellect and the collection of memories, cognitive degeneration can feel like a devastating diminishment. But like all challenges, there are spiritual lessons among the fragments of loss. Today we explore the tender terrain of how memory loss impacts individuals and the ones who love them.
Join us at 9 a.m. or 11 a.m. as we return to two services. During this time when many religious traditions honor the ancestors, we join together for our Annual Day of Remembrance. Please bring a photograph or memento of a loved one to place on our common altar during the service.
