Weekly CUUPS Social Meetings at UUCL
Starts Circa 12:30 Each Sunday Following the 'regular' UUCL
Service
Weather permitting, meetings are held in the yard by the Fellowship House. In
inclement weather, we meet in the Richard Allen Fellowship House. Ask any
greeter to direct you to the CUUPs group, or just ask where to find the
pagans... Our social meetings are an opportunity to meet and chat with
members and friends of the UUCL congregation with interests in paganism and
earth centered spirituality and are open to all.
Celebration and Ritual
Start circa 7:00 PM, unless otherwise noted.
This year, LexCUUPS will be holding open, public ritual on or near most Full
Moons and most of the 8 Solar 'Sabbats'. ( Solstices, Equinoxes, and the ‘traditional’
Celtic festivals midway between each
of these, Imbolc, Beltaine, Lugsanna, and Samhain) We may also elect to celebrate a number of
other events at the will and interest of the group. Ritual Celebrations,
weather permitting, are held outside, either in the 'common' area at UUCL, by
the education wing, or in the more private spaces by the woods. In inclement
weather, or occasionally when we just feel like it, we meet in the Sanctuary
or the Fellowship House. Note that UUCL sometimes has need of church grounds
for other events on the actual 'holy day'. Please use our new scheduling
calendar, or dates posted in the Uniview (UU of Lexington's newsletter) to
determine our actual meeting night.
Celebrations are followed by a pot-luck, for grounding and and varied
pagan conversation. ;)
Rituals are open to all, and are generally designed in the tradition of the
that particular seasons volunteer leader. These are intended as both learning
and spiritual experiences, and generally presume that some participants will
arrive with no prior knowledge of a pagan path.

interactive calendar page for Dates and Times and moon phases of events and
other local goings on.

LEXINGTON-BLUEGRASS PAGAN PRIDE 2012
Saturday September 22, 10 AM till 6:00 PM at Woodland
Park, Lexington
Pagan Pride BlueGrass in Lexington
will be at a New Location!
LexCUUPS members will continue to sponsor the 6th annual Lexington/Bluegrass
Area Pagan Pride Day, which has finally grown large enough to need the
resources and space of a public park, rather than the limited grounds at
UUCL. As part of a national program to
promote pagan networking and awareness, on the Fall Equinox, Woodland Park will be the place for public and
press to participate in an assortment of pagan rituals, presentations and
vendors from the Lexington Area. This is a consciousness raising event, for
the whole community and we do hope you'll attend. Admission is a non
perishable food item, which we'll contribute to a local Food Pantry. In the
meantime, the Pagan Pride Planning Council is still seeking representatives
of local Covens, Circles, and Trads of various sorts who'd like to present
ritual, or people information booths as well as pagan friendly vendors. Local
Pagans have made things happen for 5 years now, it just keeps getting bigger and better. Help
make BlueGrass Pagan Pride 2012 the Best Bluegrass Networking Event Ever. For
info, subscribe to yahoo.groups, lexingtonpaganpride or visit http://lexpaganpride.org
Annual LexCUUPS roadtrip series still in
planning for 2012

of the year for interested members and the general community to places
of interesting Earth Energies. In past
we’ve visited Serpent mound, done geode hunting and wandered the rivers and
woods of Kentucky Visit our social meetings, or check out our activities

clever ideas arise for our communal interests.
