Unitarian Universalists of Petaluma

The purpose of this congregation is to provide a haven where members can share in a spiritually, culturally, and socially diverse local religious community. We envision a congregation that will be welcoming to all, that values the contributions of each member in shared ministry, and that actively promotes and models individual development of an ethical way of living. We are intentionally intergenerational, and covenant to provide religious education and spiritual growth for children and adults.

If you would like to know more, please contact either Naomi Davis, Karen Elliott, or David Dodd.

A meeting is set for Wednesday, January 18 at 8 p.m.---location TBA, and we'll meet on the third Wednesday of each month if that works for most committee members.

Got Opinions?

If you are a UU then chances are you do, and the Worship Committee wants to hear them! Our services are planned with the needs of this community in mind. If there is a service you particularly liked, a subject you want to see addressed, or even some constructive criticism you're itching to give; then stop by the back UU table one Sunday and take advantage of the worship suggestion box to pass your thoughts along to the folks in charge of planning UUP services.
