Our annual service honoring those we have loved and lost will offer us an opportunity to reflect on aging gracefully, accepting our mortality, and learning from those who have gone before us.

Our annual service honoring our beloved ancestors is this coming Sunday, October 27.  You are invited to bring a photo of your loved one, or to email one to be included in the slide show.  We will drop stones in water and share their names aloud, as well.
 
Please email photos to the church office at uuchurch@palouseuu.org and be sure to include the name of the person in the photo.
