The News from Four Quarters

April 2, 2018

Special Announcement:
Upcoming Trial Date April 18th, 2018 at 9am

  Many of you know that we are in the midst of what has become a long court battle with two of our neighbors over our right to repair and use the access road to Four Quarters for which we have an easement, and that we had a trial in August of 2017 over these issues.

 At trial, our Attorney for the last 20 years experienced serious health issues and immediately withdrew from all legal practice. We are now represented by two new Attorneys (Passarello/Bucknum) in whom we have great confidence, and we have been granted another day at trial to present evidence.

 In his interim ruling the Judge did recognize our 1868 easement; however he preliminarily accepted our neighbors' arguments that:
 1: Our use of the easement is sudden and excessive;
 2: That we are not a "real" Church.
 Sadly, we believe that we may be once again encountering the kind of prejudice that we have previously experienced from Bedford County Government.

We hope to eliminate that possibility by extensively documenting the history of our church for the court.

We hope that you will consider joining us. It will be a long day at trial with many of your friends testifying, and we could really use your emotional support. We also believe your silent witness will be extremely important in helping to change the Judge's opinion of our church.

If you are planning to come, RSVP to the Church Office...and at the trial wear a yellow ribbon pinned to your lapel.

Please wish us luck and Gods speed!
We Shall Overcome!

How to Host a Moon Service at Four Quarters

Our Moon Service Circles are organized and led each month by invited guests or volunteers from our Membership. In taking responsibility for leading Circle they are able to grow in their own spirituality, and by inviting others to assist them, they make a place for those with less experience to grow as well.

We encourage you to consider bringing your spirituality to Four Quarters. All it takes is an email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or to call 814-784-3080 and claim an open Moon Service date. The Moon Service schedule is here:

Moon Services are on Saturday evenings after the Church Supper that is also prepared by volunteers; sharing this Saturday dinner together is a part of our ongoing tradition. Usually the Supper is at 5 or 6:00pm, and the Moon Service is held an hour or so thereafter.

Many Moon Services follow a Wiccan framework, but we have hosted Fire Circles, Bardic Circles, Druid ceremonies, Friends Meetings, Asatru Sumbels and Native American Pipe Ceremonies as well, (just to name a few).

Membership Renewal Time!

The cycle of the seasons is turning. The days grow in length, and we see more light and sun. We think of Spring returning. 

     We have a packed season in 2018 with lots of great events, both old beloved favorites as well as a new event or two. We also have weekends when you can just visit and have a quiet camp-out with friends, and enjoy the Land in all of its splendor.
