BOARD NOTES

20 years! Wow, that’s quite a long time. What where you doing 20 years ago? For a small group of Pagans it was a time of building. They laid the foundation of what is now the oldest incorporated Pagan Church in the state of Florida, the WRCF. They dedicated themselves to not only the Lord and Lady but also to the community. It is that dedication that we should all take time to honor. And, the best way to horror that dedication is to continue in there foot steps and dedicate or rededicate our self to the same powers that made WRCF what it is today, a voice for Pagans, a place for fellowship, help for those seeking, a place to learn and a place to share knowledge.

 WRCF’s Litha or Midsummer Sabbat Celebration will be all about honoring those powers. The Lord, the Lady and Community. Dedication or rededication rites will be open to all who wish to participate. The ritual will be very upbeat with high energies to be shared by all. It will be a celebration of the LIGHT WRCF has given to the community for the past 20 years. It will be a celebration honoring the Lord, Lady and Community. But, most of all it will be a way for the community to honor itself, as a whole and a way to honor the individuals that have supported the Church in the past and today.

 Even if your not a member of the church you are apart of the Pagan community and we honor your individuality. We offer you the chance to show your dedication to your faith by standing up with others of like mind and honor your Gods. It promises to be a very moving and spiritual celebration.

 Plans are also underway for the annual Witches Ball and Samhain Sabbat. As a special gift to the community WRCF will be offering advance tickets to this event a discounted price of $18 at all our Sabbat celebrations thru Mabon. The Online ticket price will be $20 and the price at the door will be $25. More information will be posted on our website soon.

 I hope to see you there.

Bright Blessings,

WhiteLight
WRCF President

The Wiccan Religious Cooperative of Florida, Inc. is a nonprofit church, organized and incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida. We have 501(c)3 tax exempt status, making donations to the WRCF tax deductible.

The WRCF was formed to help service the growing religious and spiritual needs of the Pagan community in Florida. Our membership is open to any one in the pagan community who wishes to join. Currently we have members in over five counties in Florida and three states across the country.

In addition to holding the eight annual Sabbats, we also hold a month Moon Circle and offer educational classes, networking opportunities, reduced rate seminars and workshops for members, cultural and social events, fund-raising events and opportunities for community service.

As we define it, Wicca, a.k.a. the Craft of the Wise, may be monotheistic, polytheistic, and/or a blend thereof. Wicca and Paganism are non-dogmatic, non-dualist, nonsexist, non-racist, magickal, holistic, and ecologically oriented. The WRCF is dedicated to the preservation of Mother Earth, the full achievement of the potential inherent in all beings, the revival of the worship of the Old Ones, both Gods and Goddesses, and the creation of a world of peace, love, freedom, happiness and prosperity for all sentient beings.

Membership and participation in WRCF is voluntary. We highly encourage our members to become involved in service to the wider Pagan and non-Pagan community through environmental efforts, healing networks and other programs of interest to them. We hold over thirty events each year for the Pagan Community in and around the Orlando Area. The majority of these events are free to the Pagan community. We turn no one away who wishes to celebrate or learn with us because of financial hardship. By becoming a member of the WRCF or making a donation, you help to support an organization that has been in existence for over 15 years and help to ensure its' future. A donation of five or even ten dollars can go along way. For instance, a donation of ten dollars to the WRCF covers the cost of printing twenty issues of the Magick Words, our newsletter, or half the of the Pagan Picnic's monthly budget. Ten percent of our annual net income goes towards long term goal of a permanent worship site in which coveners and solitaries alike may interact and celebrate in a safe, natural environment.

WRCF is committed to developing an open, nurturing community. We invite you to grow with us as we strive to expand our awareness and promote understanding of each other, and our chosen faiths.
