Our Judeo-Christian heritage offers us moderns some good advice: to regularly take time off, to rest and renew, to contemplate, to go deeper. God rested on the seventh day, and so each of us can as well. Among its many benefits, sabbath practice opens us to deeper soulful remembering of loved ones who have left us – through moving away, through passing from this life. To honor loved ones who have departed BVUUF since the last Remembrance Service in November 2023, bring photos and other mementos to place on our memorial table. In the new Joys and Concerns book in the sanctuary, or in the online chat, include the names of persons you would like to honor during the service’s ritual of remembering. Led by the Rev. Barbara Coeyman with Service Associates Scott Youmans and Kelly LoGiudice.
