Let's celebrate the week leading up to Samhain by creating an Ancestor & Chosen Family Tree together at the Fellowship!

Samhain is a time to honor those we love who have moved on, and this is a beautiful way to collectively accomplish this. You, your friends, and/or your family are invited to come to Fellowship and add a member of your family to the tree, chosen or otherwise (this includes animal family members, too!).

Here's a quick set of instructions to guide you.

Supplies

(these are all provided for you at the tree itself; you don't need to bring anything)

-wooden heart

-colored Sharpie

Find the Tree!

The Ancestor & Chosen Family Tree is located right in front of the parking lot entrance to the Fellowship building. You'll see a little sign pointing the way.

Grab the Provided Supplies.

You'll find blank wooden tags and Sharpies in the box on the table near the doors. Open up the box and grab one!

Write Who You'd Like to Honor.

Write the name of whomever you'd like to honor on the heart. You can choose to write who they were on the back of the heart if you like.

Tie It on the Tree!
