CUUPS Samhain Ritual
October 31, 2022 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm
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 or in the past. Anything that is on your heart to share is welcome. Samhain is the night when the veil between the worlds is the thinnest, and so our connection to those who have gone before is most available.
There will be space on our altar for photos or other remembrances to be placed and shared. We will also honor the ancestors of our lineages as well as our more immediate beloved dead. Witnessing in silence is also fine. It will be a time of connecting, honoring and celebrating the lives of all who came before and who still watch over us from beyond the veil. It is implicit that all are held in perfect trust.
A simple feast will follow our ritual. All are welcome.
Note: The church calendar contains some events that are not open to everyone, so that we can plan for building use. Open events are shown on the home page. Click on an event to show the full description.
