Friendly Reminder

This Sunday, 30 October 2005, at 10:30 AM i am helping lead the annual Samhain Service at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Silver Spring, located at 10309 New Hampshire Ave, Silver Spring.

I hope many of you can make it. With the time change, the early hour should be less of an issue than usual for many of you.

This is the annual pagan ceremony honouring those who have died in the prior year. The theme this year is Sailing the Sunless Sea. There will be singing, meditation, poetry, and a participatory ritual allowing each to remember whom they wish. Oh, and there will be Chrysanthemums for those who'd like one. (The blossoms make a lovely tea.)

I'll be leaving from Reston at about 9AM, i can take people if you'd like. I will be delayed a bit after the service due to needing to do a few things at the church after the service. We could grab lunch after if you'd like, too.

Via public transit, the church is on the RideOn 10 & 20 lines, and the MetroBus K6 & C8 lines.

Driving, take the beltway to New Hampshire Ave (MD 650) North toward White Oak. The church is on the right, 3 blocks up. It's the right turn after the white mailbox with the blue Korean on it, also on the right. Overlook Dr is the right to make to get to the lot. If you reach the CHI Center, you can park there and walk the 1/2 block down NH Ave; it serves as extra parking for the church.
