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.

Sunday, June 4: "What's It Like To Be You?"
Leland Bond-Upson, Regular Guest Minister

This is the hungering question that underlies our fascination with celebrity and heroes. And, better, if we care to know, it can underlie our interest in the person next to us. As a curse, the impulse can cause us to short our own lives to live vicariously in distant others'. As a blessing, it can lead to a rare communion of souls.

Sunday, June 11: Intergenerational service with Director of Religious Education Marlene Abel


Please plan to stay after the service June 11 for the annual congregational meeting.

Get Your "Greeter" On

Beginning this Sunday, you'll see some brightly colored badges on the name tag table at church. These are our new "greeter" tags. The Membership & Hospitality Committee would like to encourage you to join them in pinning on one of these special tags as an indication that you are wiling to help welcome visitors and guests and answer any questions they might have. Remember, if you can't answer a question you probably know someone who can. This project is all about meeting new people and helping them find out what we're all about. So if you find yourself with a little extra time some Sunday give it a try!
