Saturday 1st August 7 pm Earth Spirit Circle – Lammas / Lughnasadh
Join the Unitarian Earth Spirit Network for our informal online gathering to celebrate Lughnasadh/Lammas, the festival of abundance, transformation and the harvest of the first fruits. At this time we give thanks for the abundance of the earth, and pause to reflect on what we are letting go of and what we are bringing to fruition in our lives. We will work with the seasonal energies with meditation, poetry, music, and sharing our insights. All welcome.

A message from our Treasurer:
Due to the Virus Lockdown, Chorlton Unitarian Church will lose rental income of more than £16,000 and we will also lose about £6,000 from lost offertory donations on Sundays at Church.
 
We will survive financially, by using a significant part of our reserves. However, this could leave us vulnerable to other unforeseeable costs in the future, such as building repairs.
 
If you are not already donating to us, please consider making a monthly standing order donation to help us through this time. Bank details are shown below.
 
However, this is a difficult financial time for many of us. If making a donation might cause you any hardship or stress at all, then please do not make a donation. You are still a welcome member of our community.
