October 26, 2025: All Ages Service: El Día de los Muertos
Rev. Susan Frederick-Gray with special music from the All Ages Band and Family Choir
Día de Muertos reminds us of the importance of living, singing and celebrating as we remember our ancestors. Everyone is invited to bring a photo or memento of a loved one or ancestor. Together we will build altars to remember our loved one. Children (and adults) are invited to dress in Halloween costumes for our parade.
To join this service over the internet, please see our live stream page.
Information about other happenings at UUCB each week is available here.
