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.
