Thanks to everyone who came out to our Samhain circle last night. We had a beautiful ritual that honored our ancestors and that burned away the old year. And we had the best turnout we’ve had in a year and a half.
There are more pictures on our Facebook page.
Our next circle will be Yule: the Winter Solstice, on December 17.
Denton CUUPS held its Fall Social Gathering and business meeting on October 15. Our membership approved two by-laws changes, our slate of officers for 2016-17, and our 2017 circle calendar.

A modification to Article XII: Adoption and Amendment was adopted that explicitly allows for electronic voting.
The following officers were elected:
The 2017 calendar will be posted shortly.

Come join the Denton Covenant of Unitarian Universalist Pagans for our 2016 Samhain Festival on Saturday October 29th. We gather at 7:00 PM and the ritual begins promptly at 7:30.
We’ll honor our ancestors and beloved dead, the Gods of our ancestors, and John Barleycorn, the embodiment of the harvest. Bring a memento of your beloved dead, a representation of a deity or several of your choice and join in the memorial ritual, as we cast the last of the harvest onto the fire and celebrate the ancient Celtic end of the year.
Please bring an item of food or drink to share after the ceremony. Donations of 2-3 dollars to help offset expenses will be appreciated but are not required.
Children who can participate maturely and respectfully are welcome to join in. We will have childcare for younger children.
