New Moon Circles & UU Spirituality Groups

Come join our Service this Sunday, September 25th, 11am by Zoom or in person wearing an N95 or KN95 mask. Because we’ll be sitting in a circle, we recommend in-person attendance for this Sunday if that’s possible for you.

This New Moon Sunday we’ll spend time experiencing a New Moon Circle, and we’ll learn about New Moon Circles and UU Spirituality Groups of the past, present, and future. We’ll also honor the Fall Equinox. Readings and music and drums welcome.

About the Fall Equinox: You’re most welcome to bring flowers, fruits, or seeds from your gardens to share with others before frost comes and does its cold-hearted deed to our flora friends.

MASK NOTES: Our board is still requiring KN95 or N95 masks (NO FABRIC MASKS, and no surgical masks, either) of folks entering the building for Sunday services or to use the restroom when we have outdoor events.We have many folks who truly appreciate us flipping the “usual narrative.” Usually Zoom is for those who are at risk where in-person places are not safe for them. At the fellowship, we’re doing Zoom for anyone who doesn’t want to wear a nk95 or n95 mask thus keeping the fellowship safe for the most vulnerable.We do, however, allow our presenters to unmask when speaking in the front of the fellowship. Some choose to stay masked.
