November 4, 2025 To the Congregation of San Gabriel UU Fellowship, This past Sunday our congregation celebrated the conclusion of our Legacy Fund Capital Campaign with a party.  As I reported at this celebration, our congregation has generously pledged $243,000  over the next three years.  This amazing support from our membership surpasses by 35%  the $180,000 goal the Board set for this capital campaign to replace our aging roofs, to pay off the remaining mortgage, and make

What if AI isn't our impending digital overlord, what if it is the catalyst we've been waiting for? A helper as we work to collect, integrate, and practice human wisdom? My journey down this path started at the Peace Summit at Southwestern University a few weeks back, I look forward to sharing some of the early fruit.

How will we answer that question?   Those of us who have found a spiritual home in this UU Fellowship certainly hope so.  The pioneers who took the bold step to purchase our SGUUF facilities in 2013 planned for it to be here into perpetuity.  A host of committed and generous members and friends of our Fellowship over the past dozen years have invested in the continued presence of our UU church in Georgetown as we preserved through a pandemic and difficult leadership changes. 

On Sunday, October 5 th , our congregation will be invited to join the Board of SGUUF and two dozen advanced donors in supporting a capital campaign aimed at keeping our UU presence in Georgetown for years to come.  This campaign is designed to build upon the legacy of the 53 members who raised $175,000 in 2013 to purchase our current church facilities.  The goal of this Legacy Fund Campaign is to secure financial commitments of $180,000 from our members and friends over the
