A message from our new minister, The Reverend Mary Foran

By admin December 25th, 2011

UUP Minister, Rev. Mary ForanI am delighted to serve as minister for the Unitarian Universalists of Petaluma.  I invite you to visit any Sunday and discover the warmth and joy we share.

We gather at 10 a.m. for informal visiting.  Worship begins at 10:30.  Children and youth are welcome to participate in the service or to try out our classes as guests. We offer child care for the very young during the service.

Our mission is simple: Live your sacred – Transform through love – Act with courage. My ministry is devoted to encouraging spiritual depth, growing through genuine relationships and joining with others to create more love and justice in the world.

We gather every week to explore and celebrate our values and remind ourselves to live them every day.  As members of the Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregations we strive to practice the following principles:

  • The inherent worth and dignity of every person;
  • Justice, equity and compassion in human relations;
  • Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations;
  • A free and responsible search for truth and meaning;
  • The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large;
  • The goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all;
  • Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.

We are a non-creedal religion that draws wisdom from the world’s religions and spiritual traditions, as well as from human experiences of transcending mystery, the teachings of reason and science and the insistent call to confront injustice. Learn more about Unitarian Universalism here.

I look forward to meeting you.

Rev. Mary Foran
