The Wheel of the Year has turned once more bringing us to Samhain, the final harvest. Again, the year has been one of challenge and change for each of us and for our community. In our church family as well as the world at large, there have been losses of many kinds. Tonight we will depart a bit from our usual format.  We will create sacred space and share in calling directions, lighting candles and sharing the meaning of Samhain, but we will also invite anyone who chooses to share a remembrance of someone or something they have lost either recently

with Natalie Johnson This Full Moon falls in the sign of Taurus, the sign most deeply tied to the energies of Earth. We shall meet on the eve of election day, when much hangs in the balance in our country. A few days later we will remember those who served our country in the many wars fought both here and abroad in the past four hundred years.  This Taurean moon invites us to think about what it means to belong to this planet, this good earth, this country of either birth or choosing. What does it mean to belong to

with Natalie Johnson This New Moon falls in the sign of Sagittarius, the cosmic archer who invites us to aim our arrows of intention ever higher. We meet on the eve of a holiday originally based on fiction and that now, for many, has become an occasion for gluttony, TV sports and rampant retail overconsumerism.  Still, the idea of taking a day to celebrate the harvest and the abundance we enjoy in our lives is a worthwhile concept.  We can choose to celebrate in a more authentic way.  We can gather with friends and family with the idea of sharing what we
