The Unitarian Universalist
Fellowship of the Poconos is a liberal religious congregation in the
Pocono community. We uphold the three traditional liberal religious
values of freedom, reason, and tolerance. We draw wisdom from the
world's
religions, words and deeds of prophetic women and
men, the circle of life and that which upholds the mystery
and wonder affirmed in all cultures. The fellowship makes
available various forums for sharing personal experiences and
beliefs. We use the democratic process in our decision
making. We seek justice and compassion in human relationships, both
within our congregation and within society at large.

Our
mission statement reads: We
are an accepting congregation,
diverse in religious and spiritual expression, uniting in fellowship to
enrich our lives and inspire the
community by promoting Unitarian Universalist
principles.
We meet for worship services at 10 a.m. Service continues until
11-11:15 a.m. We then share refreshments
and conversation among members, friends, and guests.
Our worship experiences vary, but they usually allow some time for
singing, brief meditation and contemplation, personal sharing,
and exploration of spirituality. We recognize that spirituality
may manifest itself in a variety of ways, including but not limited to
social justice and action, theological and philosophical explorations,
good works, meditation, music, verse, dance and rituals.
Many of us dress casually, wearing jeans, slacks, or skirts. Sports
coats, suits and ties are occasionally seen as well. Visitors
and guests are always welcome.
