Annual Witches Ball
Our 18 and over Samhain celebration takes place on October 26th.
There is no cost to attend this event.
Ritual begins promptly at 7:00 pm. Please try to arrive early to park and get situated, as this is our most attended event of the year.
You may dress in any manner that you wish, whether is be garb, costume, or regular clothes. Just make sure to dress warmly because we will be outdoors, no matter the weather conditions.
No photography is permitted on church grounds without expressed consent of the CEL Executive Board, and those who wish to be photographed. No alcohol is allowed at this event. Anyone under the influence of any impairing substances will be asked to leave.
There is no potluck after this particular ritual, but there will be music and bonfire and camaraderie.
Ancestors Circle
Our next Sunday holiday service will be our Ancestors Circle on October 27th. We would like to remind everyone that our holidays are usually heavily attended. As such we hope to hold service outside,. However, if weather is uncooperative there is a limited amount of indoor seating.
If you have lost a loved one in the last year, you may bring a stone to add to our outdoor burial mounds during the ritual. We have one for people and a second for pets.
Also, don't forget to bring something for the post-ritual potluck. The theme for foods is dishes that remind you of a lost loved one.
If you plan on bringing something homemade, Willow has requested you bring a copy of the recipe as she plans on incorporating it into an ongoing project over the course of the year. Also, please be sure what you bring is already fully cooked. The oven and warming trays are only able to be used to keep items heated up on holidays.
If you do not have the time to make something, a store bought item or beverages are always a welcome donation.
Spaghetti DINNER Fundraiser
Our annual Spaghetti Dinner Fundraiser will be taking place on November 16th.
Cost for dine-in tickets is $15 for adults, $10 for children and seniors.
This includes all you can eat pasta, choice of 3 sauces (classic Pomodoro, Bolognese, and pesto alfredo) as well as salad, bread, dessert and beverage.
Cost for take-out plates (provided in a clamshell) is $10 and includes pasta with 1 sauce, salad and bread.
Physical tickets will be available for purchase on Sundays before or after church service, and may also be purchased via our clergy and board members outside of church. We are also working on a possible electronic form of payment this year, but as of this post it is still cash only.

We are seeking someone with a chainsaw and some spare time to help us cut it up for future use.
