Celtic celebration: In the spirit of Allhallows Eve, meet at Emory Presbyterian Church at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 29, for a medieval Celtic Christian tradition that celebrates the closeness of this life with the next via masks, candles and worship. "We will make masks representing those whom we have known and loved whom we wish to recognize as being still present with us, in the mystery of God's love. With them, we celebrate the whole Communion of Saints — past, present and yet to come — united in the worship of God," said the Rev. Tom Buchanan, associate pastor. "The service, though of a certain lightness and joyful spirit, will also be of a reflective and contemplative nature." The event is free and open to all, but generally not suitable for young children. 1886 N. Decatur Road N.E. www.emorypresbyterian.org.
