A short newsletter this month. Please get the word out to those who don't have e-mail, since we won't be doing a snail mail version this month.
The OFM will be this Friday, 3/3/2004. We meet at the First Unitarian Church on 14th & Lafayette in the Capitol Hill area. The church doors open at 7:00 pm and we start at 7:30 pm.
This month, the ritual has been written and officiated by some of our teenagers. The ritual will be on an Imbolc theme, with some chanting and guided meditation.
We have determined that our break-even point is about $4 per person.
We aren't going to start collecting at the door, and no one will be turned away for not having a donation. However, we would like to suggest a donation of 4 to 7 dollars per person. (The extra is to cover the pagans that are unable to donate.) If you can't afford it, you are still welcome – if you can afford more, we'd be delighted to accept it.
NOTE: Hearthstone is a church and your donations to Hearthstone are tax deductible. If you would like to write a check so you can keep track of your donations, we can certainly handle that as well.
If you have something to say, and are willing to let Alia or Catherine edit it slightly, (generally for grammar – Alia has the soul of an English teacher and I want to be one) please feel free to submit your writing. Content will not be edited. We can usually make room for more voices.
Earth Temple is now meeting at the Masonic Center at 35th and Federal at 7pm. Below are the dates that we have scheduled with the Masonic Center. Since there is rental fee now, there will be a requested donation at the ritual.
