Unitarian Universalist Church of Palo Alto

Forum: An Open Discussion Group

The Forum meets from 9:00 to 10:00 Sunday mornings in the Fireside Room. Everyone is welcome to come and participate in a stimulating discussion. There is nothing to "join". You can just drop-in. Topics are chosen by the group about one month ahead. Everyone is welcome. Child care is now offered beginning at 8 : 45 a.m. on Sundays. We hope this will make it easier for parents of young children to join us.
