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.
