We are leading the UU Service this morning!

Join us this morning for community, spirituality and connection at our Sunday Service either in person or online via Zoom!

ZOOM LINK: https://zoom.us/j/7480262341
​

If you're searching for a religious home that is guided by a quest for truth and meaning, not by a set creed or dogma, we invite you to discover Unitarian Universalism. We are a caring, open-minded religious community that encourages you to seek your own spiritual path.

Our worship services begin at 10:30 on Sunday morning and combine a mixture of music, speaking, and silence. The topics for our services vary greatly from week to week, so we encourage you to attend more than one service.

This week, Wyoming Valley CUUPS leads a special UU Samhain Service.
​Explore the history, meaning and resonance of the Final Harvest with members of the Wyoming Valley CUUPS Community.


We will have an Ancestral Altar.
We welcome you to bring photos and memorabilia of your beloved dead.


We will be using a piece of ribbon as part of this service. You are welcome to bring your own (about a foot) in a color of your chosen. If you are joining us on Zoom, please have a ribbon available to you during the service.

Dark Moon Postponed

Our Dark Moon Ritual tomorrow is postponed until November.

Unfortunately, several of our Doers and ritual facilitators have come down with the bug that’s been making its rounds and are unable to lead this month’s gathering. It’s a really cool ritual, and we want to make sure it gets the energy and presence it deserves. We’ll be offering it in November in place of our regularly scheduled Dark Moon Sumbel.

Our Friday D&D game is still happening as planned.

We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding. Stay well, and we’ll see you under next month’s dark moon.

The Witches’ Year is turning toward its close...

...and Wyoming Valley CUUPS is offering many ways to honor this season of transformation with ritual, learning, and community. From our Full Moon Labyrinth Walk to our Dark Moon Ritual for Nyx, from Dungeons & Dragons game nights to our annual Samhain celebration, October is full of opportunities to gather in spirit and fellowship.

Highlights this month include the October 16th Monthly Meeting, where manager applications will open, and our October 24th Dark Moon Ritual to Nyx. We’ll close the month with both an Online Samhain Ritual on October 27th and our Samhain Ritual & Potluck on November 1st. An up-to-date listing of events is always available in our event listings. 

We are also hosting several community outings and informal gatherings this month. These are organized through our Discord server. Be sure to join—and don’t forget to agree to the rules to unlock the full server.

Some Full Moon Shenanigans are coming up!!

Manager applications will be opening soon, and membership is required to apply. If you’re interested in stepping into leadership with us, now is a great time to make sure your membership is up to date.

✨ Membership Requirements
Membership in Wyoming Valley CUUPS is open to anyone who:
  • Acknowledges that they have read and agree to our Chapter Behavioral Covenant and Policies (currently under review).
  • Provides one annual contribution of time or talent.
  • Attends five or more WVCUUPS events each year, with at least two in-person.
  • Lives within the Wyoming Valley region (Luzerne, Lackawanna, and Wyoming counties).

Membership is reaffirmed yearly before our December meeting.

💜 Important Notes
  • Membership is always free—we are donation-based and volunteer-run.
  • We honor the spirit of time and attendance—there is no tracking system. We simply ask folks to contribute in meaningful ways when they can.
  • You do not need to be a voting member to attend any of our events. All are welcome.
  • Being a member of WVCUUPS does not require you to be a member of the UU Congregation of Wyoming Valley (though some of us are).

🌟 Why Become a Member?
Membership gives you voting power in our community. WVCUUPS members elect a Manager, who then selects officers to help with behind-the-scenes work that makes our rituals and events possible. It truly takes a community to keep WVCUUPS thriving, and membership ensures your voice is part of that process.
