Upcoming events, First Spiritualist Temple of East Aurora
Upcoming
- Sunday, January 18, Annual people memorial service
- During the service, we’ll supply a large selection of fresh, cut flowers. Congregants who wish to do so may announce aloud the name of the person they are honoring while placing the flower they have chosen at the front of the church. You may bring in pictures or mementoes of your loved ones who have passed into spirit.
Upcoming special event
- FISH of East Aurora is an ecumenical, local organization serving families in need in our community. First Spiritualist Temple has a limited membership base, so we partner with FISH for charitable activities. We collect unexpired nonperishable pantry items, toys for Christmas, and encourage members to donate to them directly. Find them at https://www.facebook.com/fishofeastaurora/.
- Fundraising event for FISH, Thursday, February 12: an all-message evening service
