Today the Pagan Interest Circle will hold a Maypole celebration of Beltane, the Celtic welcoming of summer. The congregation is invited to the courtyard at 1PM. We will enjoy any food brought to share, while we weave garlands of fresh flowers. We will form a ritual circle and weave the ribbons around a maypole in a simple dance. Then the cauldron will be lit, with the opportunity to jump over (or around) the fire with friends and loved ones, to re-dedicate our relationships. At Pagan Interest Circle (PICT) events all are warmly included. The events are clean and sober, fragrance- and animal-free. Please bring food to share and vines or flowers with stems to share, if you can.

Live the life you've imagined -Thoreau 6PM Humanists & Non-Theists: The Quaker Experience, Fireside Room Does the word Quaker bring to mind breakfast cereal or lubricating oil? Perhaps the good works of the American Friends Service Committee or the City of Brotherly Love come to mind. The Humanists and Non-Theists will kick off the month of May with personal perspectives on the Quaker tradition by David Matchett and Markley Morris. We will start with a potluck dinner at 6PM. The discussion starts at 6:30 PM. We’ll be in the Fireside Room. Everyone is welcome. There is no charge to attend. Our planning committee meets at 5PM before the potluck. If you have suggestions for future events or just want to help with planning, you are welcome to the planning meeting.
