Come one, come all! Walpole Unitarian Church Family First will celebrate the season(s)!

Dig out your scarves and silly hats, your skulls and your tutus, Family First Sunday at the Walpole Unitarian Church will celebrate the season with a trading truck of items to create your own costume at our brunch at 10 a.m. at Hastings Parish House on Union Street, next to the church.

We’ve combined elements of Halloween, All Saint’s Day, Samhein, and the Mexican Day of the Dead celebration, from traditional “pan de meurto” an anise flavored bread, sugar skulls to paint, and faces to paint as well (an experienced face painter will be on site)!

Everyone is encouraged to bring something to recycle with others that can be turned into or added to a costume. We’ll discuss repurposing things as part of our care of the earth’s resources.

Additionally, we’ll introduce this year’s UUA “Guest at the Table” project, which focuses on refugees and displaced persons.

Guest at Your Table is an annual fundraising and education program that supports the UUA’s service committee human rights work. We invite everyone to take part: individuals, families, small groups, congregations, and community organizations.

Over the decades, Guest at Your Table has raised millions of dollars for human rights projects that have made a real difference in people’s lives.

Light brunch foods, coffee, tea, and witch’s brew will be available. Bring your self, your children, your parents, your friends, and join in our celebration of the season!

Families First is “our sustainable approach to families and spirituality in the 21st century” designed to help feed our bodies, our curiosity, and our spirit.

This is an informal, hassle-free time for adults or the entire family to interact with other families, and talk with members of the congregation about values and spiritual dimensions in our lives. We’ll talk, we’ll sing, we’ll have fun, and share a meal and our time.

Spread the word! Bring a friend!
