This year the annual reading of names included in Accotink Memorials will be during the November 1st All Souls Sunday service. The service will be a Music Sunday with songs to calm our spirits, inspire hope, and call forth our courage.

At the service, we will be asking for donations to support the ongoing maintenance costs of the Memorials.  Please make checks payable to “AUUC Memorial Fund” and mail to the church at 10125 Lakehaven Court, Burke, VA 22015. You may donate online anytime through the AUUC website, select “Memorial Garden Donation” on the donation page.

The Accotink Memorials are not included in the annual church budget, but rather, are funded by directed donation and purchase of columbarium niches, cenotaph wall placements and tree of remembrance leaves. To address the need for regular income to the Memorial Fund for ongoing maintenance, the committee asks for donations from the congregation in May (Memorial Day) and November (All Souls).

For more information, learn more about the Accotink Memorials here or send us a note at memorials@accotinkuu.org or speak with any of the committee members. Thanks for reading and please give generously on November 1st.
