All Saints Day Photos Needed
We’ll observe All Saints Day on November 6 at worship. Union Church will share a video “ofrenda,” with pictures of those who have died and whom we are remembering. In Latin traditions, an ofrenda altar with photos is often set up in the house during the annual and traditional Día de los Muertos celebration. You are invited to submit a photo of your beloved one for inclusion in our ofrenda by using the form link below. Those who have recently passed, and those who have died long ago: all are part of the great cloud of witnesses to God’s grace and love. Please send by noon on Nov. 3 – thanks! https://bit.ly/AllSaintsPhotos
