Imbolc Celebration with CUUPs This Sunday!

This will be a magical Sunday – it’s a full moon, and we’re celebrating Imbolc (aka Brigid) with our newly revived chapter of Covenant of UU Pagans! Imbolc is the holiday on the Pagan wheel of the year dedicated to the coming of spring. I’ll share a story about the goddess Brigid in our Time for All Ages, and we’ll learn more about the holiday in RE. If you are a witch or pagan (or pagan curious!) and would like to get involved with CUUPs, please reach out and let me know!

Game Night, 2/3/26 at 5:30 pm

All ages are invited to our monthly multigenerational game night – bring a game, a snack to share, a friend, or all of the above for a fun time of community building and connecting across the generations!
