Could it be that one of the most effective ways to subvert a prophet is to turn them into an idol? There is a case to be made that this is what "the church" has done to Jesus. There is a case to be made that this is what American Culture has done with Dr. King. If we toss the idol, maybe we can ask what the prophet was trying to teach.

Statement on the killing of Renee Nicole Good by ICE: We grieve the killing of Renee Nicole Good, a 37 year-old mother and legal observer, by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Minneapolis yesterday—an act of state violence that has stolen a life and reverberates through an already-wounded community. This is not an isolated incident, but the result of policies that criminalize immigration and enforce borders through fear, surveillance, and force rather than care. Side Wit

On (or around) the first Sunday of each month, we explore our Soul Matters theme. For this month, that's Practicing Resistance.

In this Post-Christmas service we will be asked to reflect together on where we find the light of joy, peace, and love celebrated by Christians in the Jesus story when we are living in a world continuously filled with violence, suffering, and inequities.

As I reach the midway point of my Doctor of Ministry in Social Justice program at Meadville Lombard — our UU seminary in Chicago — I want to share the heart of what has been unfolding. Stephen Jenkinson has said that we live in a time with more old folks and fewer wise elders than ever before. In this reflection, I’ll explore what it might mean to rescue wise elderhood from western history’s dustbin — to draw a clear, compassionate distinction between wise elders and old adol

On the first Sunday of each month, we explore our Soul Matters theme. For this month, that's Choosing Hope.

When religion forgets its spirit, it becomes a shell — beautiful, perhaps, but hollow. Inspired by Christopher Wallis’s Near Enemies of the Truth, this service explores how both religion and spirituality can lose their way, mistaking form for life or freedom for meaning. Together we’ll remember what religion once promised: to bind us not in dogma, but in wonder — to help us remember the sacred light that first called us to belong.

What It Cost$ to Give At the request of a number of our members, we have recently added Venmo as a method of giving money  to the Fellowship.  A number of you have been taking advantage of this new payment method.  However, while convenient, you should be aware that Venmo extracts a fee for every transaction because Venmo considers us a business, regardless of our being a church and 501c3 charitable organization.  Venmo’s fee is 1.9% + $0.10 for each transaction.  Here ar

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

"Have you ever had a conversation with an unhoused person?"  On the last Sunday of September, some members of the SGUUF Social Justice Team opened the doors of the Fellowship House and greeted our unhoused neighbors, who were arriving to enjoy a shower and a hot meal.  Keith Rogas, new to our SJ Team, shares his experience by starting with a question, "Have you ever had a conversation with an unhoused person?"  He continues: "I hadn’t done so until a couple of weeks ago, when

Beginning October 2025 the The San Gabriel AA Recovery Group has a new home at San Gabriel UU! Hosting this group is in alignment with the values that our church holds close, and by providing them this space and opportunity we are providing the direct support that is sometimes lacking when we attempt to help those in need. The following meetings will be in the Fellowship House: Sunday - 8am-9am Tuesday - Friday: noon-1pm and 6pm - 7pm Saturday - 6pm-7pm We will also have one

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.
