We will speak the names of our beloved dead and build a remembrance altar with fall leaves, photos and mementos. You are invited to bring items for the altar (and reminded to take them home with you again after the service). This year our service will be powerfully anchored by a series of songs from Alexandra “Ahlay” Blakely’s collection “WAILS: Songs for Grief” shared by our choir.
