A Death Café is a group directed discussion of death with no agenda, objectives, or themes. It is not a grief support group or counseling session, just some folks getting together to talk about death. The Death Café movement includes events all over the world.

Join us in-person (masks required) or online on November 17th via Resurrection Catholic Community Church’s livestream.

A cherished annual tradition, our Interfaith Memorial Service and Candle Lighting is an invitation to pause during the busy holiday season and tune into what counts: remembering a beloved family member, or dear friend, who has died. Whether your loved one recently passed, or is someone who you have carried in your heart for many years, this memorial service nourishes tender hearts by honoring both the sadness and joy that comes with remembrance.

Our community gathers for words of support, candle lighting, and a remembrance table, for which you are welcome to bring a photograph or object of your loved one. Children and families are welcome.</description><link>https://web.santacruzchamber.org/events/eventdetail.aspx?EventID=4272</link><pubDate>Tue, 09 Nov 2021 19:56:17 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Let's Be Thankful Together 11/21/2021 12:00 PM - 11/21/2021 4:00 PM</title><description>Please join us at the Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter for a nonprofit showcase event to celebrate the start of our giving season!
