Tahoma Unitarian Universalist Congregation

Join us for our Last Tuesday Dinner Group at a different area restaurant each month on the last Tuesday evening. These meals are casual, come-as-you-please gatherings. It's a wonderful way to get to know fellow members of the congregation, and you may individually order from the restaurant's menu. The restaurant will be announced as we approach the last Tuesday. Come, relax, eat, and join in the conversations.

Full Moon Pagan Studies aims to present pagan learning topics to both pagans and interested non-pagans in the community. After completing the introduction class students should be able to: properly use terms that describe various pagan practices and beliefs, briefly explain the history of paganism, and have an understanding of what is and isn’t “pagan.” Pagan students should be able to describe their own belief system to others who may not follow the same practices. This is considered one of three foundation classes for our rituals and other classes this year. There is no prerequisite; this class is for beginners, non-pagans, and people who want to improve their ability to interact with a variety of pagans from different belief systems and to “explain” their faith to non-pagans.
