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.

Pizza Party for teens and their parents – This Sunday, June 22nd at 11:30 at UUP
All UUP teens and their parents are invited to stay for pizza, salad, drinks and ice cream immediately after the service on Sunday, June 22. This will be a working lunch for us to consider teen programming and activities for next school year, including a possible Coming of Age program at UUP, participation in YRUU conferences at the district level (Young Religious UU's), networking with teens from other Northbay UU churches, and social events. Teen input is especially encouraged and valued.

UPCOMING SUNDAY SERVICES
(Social time with refreshments begins at 10:00 am , at the Petaluma Woman's Club, 518 B Street. Worship service begins at 10:30 am.)

Sunday, June 22, 2008: Gay Pride 08
Guest speaker: Meredith Guest
Worship Leaders: Jodi Boyle and Joyce Tischler
This service honors gay pride month and will take a more focused look at the "T" of GLBT. While transsexuality is often the least visible and most confusing of the issues surrounding sexual orientation and identity, at its heart it's about the urge to live an authentic life, a theme with which we are all familiar.

June 29, 2008: Why Religious Literacy Matters
Speaker: Marlene Abel, Director of Religious Education
Worship Leader: Meredith Guest
Americans are more interested in religion and consider it more important in their daily lives than people in other developed nations, but, statistically, we know little about world religions or our own faiths. As a result, we Americans make political and moral decisions based on our beliefs, but without basic religious knowledge. The service will focus on why religious literacy matters, both for our UUP children and for all Americans.

REGULARLY SCHEDULED GATHERINGS
UUP Board of Trustees will meet Sunday, June 22nd at 8:30 am in the Christian Science Reading Room.
The UUP Membership Committee will meet Monday, June 23rd at 7:30 pm at Hope Stewart's house.
