« Return to JUC Programs

The UUA Sixth Source recognizes Earth-based and Pagan paths as a valid expression of spirituality and a legitimate path to religious truth for individuals. JUC CUUPS affords worship and educational resources to its members, as well as serving as an interfaith educational resource to our home congregation to inform UUs and other community members about these Pagan beliefs and practices.

CUUPS chalice

 

CUUPS LogoThe JUC CUUPS chapter is on hiatus for the Summer. We will meet for ritual but not the monthly meeting. Please use this opportunity to enjoy Mother Earth and Father Sun. Get outside and play in the dirt, go for a hike; do whatever it is you most enjoy to do in the great outdoors.

Co-Coordinators are: Erin Ashurst and Joy Phelan

Effective September 2008, we are meeting 1st Wednesdays and 3rd Tuesdays. There is a business meeting at 6:30pm and the program will start at 7pm.

On September 3rd we have a Welcome Back Potluck.

On September 16th we celebrate Mabon, the Autumn Equinox. It's open to everyone regardless of affiliation, including people who are committed to other groups.

Children are welcome and there is childcare available at 7pm.

"Meditate, engage in daily prayers, read uplifting books, commune with Mother Nature--in some way try to remove yourself from the discord of the everyday world that invades your sense of inner peace."

Stephen R. Covey

Mission Statement:

We, the CUUPS chapter of Jefferson Unitarian Church, value personal responsibility and integrity, diversity and compassion, competency and education in the pursuit of spiritual balance.

We offer our talents and abilities in service to the community by providing celebrations to honor the Earth and its cycles.

We provide support to those seeking to live a life more in balance with nature by exploring the teachings and traditions of various pagan and Earth-centered religions and philosophies.

We seek both mirth and reverence, and we honor the Divine in many forms.

Blessed Be,
Joy Phelan
Coordinator
