Our community will celebrate Samhain today. Samhain is a Pagan holiday from the Celtic tradition that celebrates the deepening of the dark as fall continues its progress toward winter. Pagans believe, as do many other faiths and folk traditions that this time of year is when the veil thins between the living and the dead. Today we will make sanctuary for each other as we hold in love and memory those who have died. Please bring a photo or an object that reminds you of someone you loved who has passed on.  Children and youth will leave in the middle of the service to create a Samhain song and pictures of the altar, but will return for our Samhain ritual.
