Connections Team members Nancy Baffa and Vickie Cox-Lanyon built this Ofrenda, a decorated altar to honor and welcome back the souls of deceased loved ones. This is for the holiday Dia de Los Muertos (Day of the Dead), traditionally celebrated on November 1 + 2. People bring photos of their loved ones to place on the Ofrenda, and/or items that were significant to their loved ones.

Kudos to Kate Bejune, who, after months of training with Frank Sweetser, ran the tech equipment solo for the first time ever during our November 1, 2026 service. In fact, UUCW herstory was made today, with our first-ever all women Tech Team (Betty Jenewin running the video camera) during a service!
