UUP 2007

Another year in the life of the Unitarian Universalists of Petaluma!

On January 7, we celebrated our five year anniversary of our first meeting in January 2002 in a living room with eight adults and six children. To celebrate, we had a cake and a photo on our front steps.

A new member ceremony and annual auction took place on May 6--five new members joined UUP, and we raised nearly $3,000!

On May 20, we had a Maypole dance and potluck after the service, at the home of Steve and Carol West.

The weekend of May 25-28 found UUP members on our annual Memorial Day Retreat at Four Springs Retreat Center in Lake County.

On the weekend of June 30-July1, we were honored to host UU poet Ric Masten for a Saturday poetry reading and as our guest speaker for Sunday worship.

In August, we held our first annual garage sale fundraiser--it was a lot of fun and a great success!

On September 16, we held our annual "Water and Stones" ingathering service, during which people brough stones and water from their travels, or from home, if they didn't travel, and reconnected.

We had our annual Halloween Party in October--some good pictures of that!

We welcomed our new consulting weekend minister, Rev. Ben Kocs-Meyers, on November 11. A big step for UUP!

Our annual Winter Solstice service combined the traditional drum circle and the kids' Santa Lucia celebration.

UUP's Christmas service was led by our consulting minister, the Rev. Ben Kocs-Meyers. A brass quartet accompanied the enthusiastic caroling.
