The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Silver City will be celebrating the beautiful Mexican, and Latin American, tradition of honoring family members who have passed away. There will be an "Ofrenda" or offering placed on an altar intended to welcome the deceased to the altar setting. Usually this takes place in a home.
We will modify this tradition somewhat by placing tables in the Sanctuary and Community Room, all with flowers (traditionally marigolds) and candles. Please bring a photo of the person or persons you wish to honor and place it on the table along with a memento and flowers if you wish. After a short service, which will include a brief history of El Día de los Muertos folks can gather around the tables (Ofrendas) and share stories of their departed loved ones.
Please join us for this unique service.
Children are welcome to participate on any Sunday, but they will get the most out of the program if they attend second and fourth Sundays somewhat regularly. Family adults may stay for the children's program or attend the adult program. Children are encouraged to bring a small item that represents someone or something they are grateful for that week.
UUFSC Safety Protocol as pursuant to our most recent UUA Guidelines:
Masks are now optional, but their use is encouraged. We will continue to serve refreshments on the patio and in the building. Visitors are always welcome.
