UPCOMING EVENTS

Come for a reflective service that allows us to finalize everything for the year, taking stock of our successes and letting go of any plans that we haven't been able to achieve. The Winter will soon be here when we will rest and renew, making new plans to better ourselves and our planet!

The service starts at 3 PM. Bring a dish to share for afterword. Bring an outdoor chair to sit in. We will be indoors in severe weather, but plan to be outdoors for part of the day.

This is a public event. All are welcome, but you must RSVP by Friday September 18, 2026 by saying you will attend on Facebook or emailing moondoggienotary@gmail.com or texting 570-838-5366.

Come celebrate the 7th installment in our Earth Religion series ~ when we reveal the results of our plans as they occur. Come explore gratitude with a wild abandon you've never experienced and take in the bounty that's been offered up!

Please being a dish to share (from your garden if you have one!) and any special drink. If you have special dietary needs, please bring your favorite dish to share with everyone that shows how delicious you life is!

The hosts will provide drinks and bounty from their own garden.
