Samhain Ritual: Beyond the Veil

Samhain – Beyond the Veil
Speakers:
Lady Vanessa and Ron Zorn
Perhaps the most revered holiday in the Pagan calendar is Samhain (sau-ihn), in which we honor those who have gone before us, celebrate the end of harvest, and usher in the darker half of the year.
In this service, Lady Vanessa and Ron Zorn, along with members of the Pagan and First Unitarian communities, facilitate an all-ages service that highlights our 6th source of spiritual teachings/earth-centered traditions.

Children are welcome to attend the service and remain or go to RE instead. There won’t be a dismissal from the service.

Don't forget to turn your clocks back an hour on Saturday night. If you show up early, we may put you to work.
