Remember Me: All Souls Day
Oct 27 @ 10:00 am – 11:00 am

Sunday, October 27, 10 a.m., “Remember Me: All Souls Day,” Rev. Heather Rion Starr: We keep our beloved ones alive by remembering them through shared stories, memories, photographs, and values. Sometimes, we carry forward a cause, mission, or concern that especially mattered to our forebears. During this, UUSD’s 25th Anniversary Year, as well as a significant national election year, we will especially remember past UUSD members no longer living. We also remember the activists and organizers in our country’s history who contributed to our contemporary experience of being able to live “out, loud, and proud.” Bring some small items, mementos, and/or photographs to add to our co-created altars.

  • UUSD is requiring that only vaccinated individuals (who are eligible to be vaccinated against COVID) attend in-person services.
  • Please stay home and enjoy our livestream if you have a fever, any other symptoms of illness, or if it’s simply a better option for you.

Sharing Our Stories

Each of us at UUSD has a different story to tell about how we found a spiritual home here. A few of us are life-long UUs but most are not, having come from a variety of other religious backgrounds or from no particular place of faith. Whatever our journey, sharing the stories of the paths we took helps connect us to each other and to the shared journey we are now making.
