“Gratitude and Communion” with Effie and Mark Brown will be featured at 10 a.m. Sunday, Nov 4, at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation, 20103 Highway 525, Freeland.

The Browns and other members of the congregation will explore themes of gratitude for the gift of life, the bounty of the earth, and the renewed commitment to a world of peace, justice and love. Inspired by the traditional Eucharist, this service includes readings and sharing the fruits of the earth as an expression of gratitude and a challenge to care for the less fortunate. Values-based, non-creedal children’s religious exploration classes and child care will be available. Check www.whidbey.com/uucwi for more information or call 321-8656.
