These are sacred traditions in which we remember those who have passed away\, and celebrate their lives and presence with us even still. Together\, we announce that we do not grieve without hope in God\, because we believe that we will be reunited again with those who have died because it is God’s love which connects all of us. \nSo again this year on the first Sunday in November\, we will mark the day as our “All Souls’ Sunday/Día de Muertos” observation. Ramón Sandoval\, who has created our beautiful altars each year\, will be creating the altar for our morning worship on Sunday\, November 2nd.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Saturday Altar Time\nThe altar will also be open to the public Saturday 11/1 from 10am-2pm in our sanctuary. \nAll are welcome to come and light a candle and bring a photo or memorable object for the altar.

As we do\, I think we’ll find a deeper understanding of what that first advent was like\, as well as resonances with the troubled times of today. The world of the first advent was marked by injustice\, fear\, and resistance. Kelley Nicondeha brings that world to life in her book\, The First Advent in Palestine: Reversals\, Resistance\, and the Ongoing Complexity of Hope. Join us for a Sunday morning class as we read through the book together\, engage in practices to connect us to that complex and audacious hope\, and find God in the midst of our own advent season. \nThe group will meet on the following Sundays…\n11/9\, 11/16\, 11/23\, 11/30\, 12/7 \n  \nSunday\, November 9th: Roots of Resistance\nWeek 1: Chapters 1 & 2 \nSunday\, November 16th: Pregnant with Promise\nWeek 2: Chapters 3 & 4 \nSunday\, November 23rd: Living in Troubled Times\nWeek 3: Chapters 5 & 6 \nSunday\, November 30th: Paying Attention on the Peripheries\nWeek 4: Chapters 7 & 8 \nSunday\, December 7th: Hope Continued\nWeek 5: Chapter 9 & 10 & Epilogue URL:https://nhunited.org/event/bookclub/2025-11-09/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://nhunited.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/first-advent-book-club.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20251109T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20251109T130000 DTSTAMP:20260417T012946 CREATED:20241023T135428Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251106T023924Z UID:10000396-1762689600-1762693200@nhunited.org SUMMARY:Church Finances 101 DESCRIPTION:NHUnited Finance 101: Our 2026 Budget\nHave you ever wondered how financial decisions get made at the church? \nAre you curious about how much your offerings and financial donations support our budget?
