Ways to grow UUism in San Diego County. I see our faith as one
that welcomes those searching for a spiritual home, so the key
to growing UUism in San Diego County is connecting with folks
on a personal level. I love to talk about the community I have
found at PUUF, and if someone shows interest, I respectfully
invite them to join me for a Service. Whether or not they accept,
the conversation remains open to discussion of our individual
spiritual paths.

County you'd like to profile, please e-mail martin@kruming.com.
