We are a CUUPs (Covenant of Unitarian Universalist Pagans) Chapter.
We are affiliated with the Unitarian Universalist Church of Arlington (UUCA)
We meet at the UUCA Church, 4444 Arlington Boulevard (corner of Route 50 and George Mason Drive).
We celebrate Ritual the third Sunday of every month. Ritual begins at 1:00 PM and is followed by potluck and fellowship.
Attendees are encouraged to arrive by 12:45 PM and to check the easel at the inside stairs to determine in which room we will be meeting.
Our Mission and Vision Statement
"We strive to build a safe and nurturing community that is inclusive and provides for spiritual growth and service to the Earth and Her children. We are the Hub of the Wheel of Life, the Crossroads where all meet; We are a Chalice of the Goddess; We are of the Earth, rich and empowering; We are a Rock, safe and secure; We are a Rainbow, diverse with many colors yet together in one band; We are a Flame of Spirituality, providing the light to see our path before us."
MoonFire Leadership Changes
As part of our reoganization process we have decided to establish the Executive Committee as a premanent feature of MoonFire. We remain committed to democratic, open, leadership, but at the same time we want to ensure those who lead are well prepared to do so. We are now in the process of drafting new Bylaws, mission statement, and convenant for the group. We do not expect major changes in anything, only in how some decisions get made.
This Month's Events
June 4-6
Little Bennett Family Campout. Join MoonFire for our annual family campout at Little Bennett State Park near Clarksville, Maryland. This year the cost will be 10$/day and 15$ for the whole weekend (per person). We will have activities, including a night fireside ritual, bamboo flute making workshop, nature walks (there are lots of hiking trails) and a pot luck lunch. Other activities as time and interest allow. For more information about camping and Little Bennett go here. If you have not been before you should definitely read the material about the park before going.
June 9
MoonFire's Monthly Pagan Social: Pagan Swap Meet. We will have a good old fashioned Pagan Swap or Giving Blanket. Daune, who has in the past come to MoonFire circles, is moving to California and has donated a number of Pagan books, a set of Tarot cards and other items. How it works: for each item you bring you may either donate it to the giving blanket or swap it for an item already there. As people swap out items you may find a treasure you have been looking for. It is a one for one trade so now is the time to hunt down those Pagan re-gift items or I can't believe I bought that - I must have been Moonstruck, or simply Pagan items which have served you well, and now are relegated to some dark corner and could now benefit someone else. Refreshments will provided. 7:15 PM at the Church.
June 20
Third Sunday Ritual. Joint us for ritual 1:00 PM at the Church, potluck afterward.
