Visitors
are Welcome
Welcome to the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of San
Dieguito. We are
a welcoming community, open to all persons regardless of
age, race,
gender, religion, or affectional orientation.
In
addition to Sunday services, we offer our adults a broad
range of programs. Our Social Justice Ministry provides
a wide range of opportunities for members to serve the
larger community. The
congregation is involved in community service activities
such as helping
with the Interfaith Shelter Network, building houses for
Habitat for Humanity, and taking up a weekly food collection
as part of the Sunday service. We also enjoy an outstanding
choir and a wide variety of special music. Our "Music
at Founders' Hall" annual
concert series has provided our community with an eclectic
mix of music from jazz to classical, and from folk to opera.
Visitors
to UUFSD are given a welcome packet at the visitor's table prior
to Sunday services. During the services, the minister will ask
if any guests would like to introduce themselves. Kids are welcomed
to attend the Religious Education
classes. After services, guests are also invited to attend the
coffee hour. Visitors are asked to use blue mugs so that others
in the congregation can easily identify and welcome them.
After visiting, the complementary newsletter "UU Fellowship
Focus" will be mailed to a visitor for three months.
We
hold “New Member Orientations” quarterly
for those who would want a more in depth understanding of
the Fellowship and wish to learn more about the membership
process.
Membership in UUFSD is open to anyone who is in general agreement
with a religious society dedicated to the principles of a
free faith. We believe that the authority for your belief
is your own conscience and intellect. We only ask that you
be willing to undertake your religious quest and contribute
personally and financially to further the activities of the
church.
Joining the church requires signing the Membership Book in
the presence of our interim minister Rev. Jim Grant or someone on
the Membership Committee. A committment to the financial support
of the Fellowship is made at that time. It is recommended
that anyone considering membership attend one of the membership
orientation series if possible. Sign-up for these orientations
at the welcome table.
Alternatively you may make an appointment with the minister
to discuss membership.
Benefits of membership include:
- Voting
at quarterly congregational meetings;
- Minister
services for weddings, memorials and other special occasions;
- Free
subscription to UU
World, the magazine of the Unitarian Universalist Association.
We
at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of San Dieguito
look forward
to new opportunities for service, for intellectual and spiritual growth,
and for the richness that new people with diverse experiences, views and
talents will bring to our community.
If
you have any questions, please contact or
,
chair the membership committee.
