If you haven’t made it to the CUCC Memorial Meditation Garden yet since All Saint’s Day (November 1) it’s not to late to experience a special walk! The new pavers are in and the CUCC Youth created an Ofrenda (offering) memorial walk (inspired by the Mexican tradition of Dia de los Muertos - Day of the Dead). This is a multi-sensory walk with several stations for remembering loved ones. There are over 30 photos on display (sent in by church members) and there are several other ways to remember, mourn, and celebrate loved ones who have died. The walk will only remain up through November 24, so don’t miss your chance. If you visit in the evening, feel free to find the battery switches for all the lighting and votive candles, and turn them on - just be sure to turn them back off again before you leave.
Many thanks to all who permitted and helped to create this new iteration of our meaningful Ofrenda tradition.
