Mark Twain once said “The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time”. This service will explore the diverse beliefs Unitarian Universalists have on death and the afterlife while challenging us to live fully in the now. We will also hold space for those who we love who have passed away.
