April Events| May Events

If you're interested in learning more about CUUPS, please come to one of our regular meetings. See if our activities, educational programs or worship services meet your needs. There is no obligation. Meetings are generally held at South Valley Unitarian Universalist Society. All CUUPS meetings are open to people interested in participating or helping to develop the programs, events, and resources that CUUPS offers to the UU congregation and the larger spiritual community.

Ritual and education programs
There is plenty of room for interested individuals to design and contribute to celebrations and holiday rituals. In many UU churches these are incorporated into congregational presentations by the CUUPS Chapter and we expect the Greater Salt Lake Area Chapter to continue in this tradition. There may also be special focus and educational groups which explore particular topics in depth -such as - Pagan ritual, worship and celebrations for holidays, special workings and life transitions, both for local group worship and for wider community involvement. Each CUUPS Chapter determines its own focus and services and as a newly forming Chapter we invite suggestions, participation, and involvement from UU members.
Join our Yahoo! Groups discussion and share your ideas and suggestions.
