Welcome
to Palomar Unitarian Universalist Fellowship!
The mission of the Palomar Unitarian Universalist
Fellowship is to create a compassionate, liberal religious
community...
 *
where spirits and intellects are free to explore the meaning
of existence...
*
where the work of social justice and the warmth of friendships
are equally valued...
*
where young and old can find joy and comfort...
*
where we welcome a variety of people with diverse histories,
lifestyles, ideas, and dreams...
*
where our senses respond to artistic creativity as well
as to the natural world at our doorstep...
*
where we practice Unitarian Universalist values by being
true to our own beliefs and cooperating in a self-governing
community.

Join the Stretching
and Healing Support Group
in the patio or the library at 9:30 a.m., for

The purpose for
coming

in the process of healing old wounds, to explore
conflicts, and to experience the wonderful,
unique,
loveable and loving persons we really can be.
Newcomers are welcome. Promptness is important
for the group process.
