This Sunday our children have a lot to say about love. Join us! There will be participatory music, a picture book, and words of wisdom from our members with a low vantage point and a big, big view.

This year's stewardship theme is Learn, Love, Grow — three words that describe what SGUUF does every week and three words that describe what we're asking of ourselves as a community this year.

Join us for an all ages interactive service centered on deepening our understanding of the Social Change Now: A Guide for Reflection and Connection, framework. Identify your Target, Safety and Stretch roles within and outside our organization, as we examine the ecosystem of our congregation together.

"If you love someone, set them free." - Sting How can this way of putting Love at the Center, inform how we approach Religion as modern UU's? Not just in how we serve the adults in our community, but in how and what we teach our youth?

We will come together in song to feel the power of music and how it influences us. This Sunday Service is All Ages.

There is a wall, a veil, between our world and the spirit world... the sages and prophets found ways through the wall, they brought back teachings from the spirit world. They left behind signs so that we could find our way through. Some folks who came after, got really into sign making. Some thought that the tunnels through the wall should be enlarged, decorated, celebrated... Some spent their lives making their religion's entrance look more beautiful and inviting than others

“The cross can heal and hurt; it can be empowering and liberating but also enslaving and oppressive. There is no one way in which the cross can be interpreted. I offer my reflections because I believe that the cross placed alongside the lynching tree can help us to see Jesus in America in a new light, and thereby empower people who claim to follow him to take a stand against white supremacy and every kind of injustice.” ― James H. Cone, The Cross and the Lynching Tree

In our third and final service in the Simone Weil Series, we'll explore the culminating movement of her thought: DECREATION. I'll get you pointed in the right direction with this teaser: "We do not become just by adding virtue. We become just by subtracting the self that blocks reality." Mic. Drop.

Join us for an all-ages Social Justice Sunday where art and social justice come together to explore how artists, activists, and everyday people use humor, images, and handmade creations to call out injustice and inspire change. Inspired by the Guerrilla Girls, zine-making, and other creative practices, this interactive service invites us to complain about what we care about in a creative and unique way.

On the first Sunday of each month, we explore our Soul Matters theme. For this month, that's Paying Attention. Our teacher in attention is philosopher-mystic Simone Weil.

Greensleeves is one of the oldest and most familiar songs in our tradition—tender, plaintive, and enduring. It has been sung as a love song, a lament, and a prayer, carried across centuries and cultures. This Sunday, we’ll listen to it together, reflect on what it has meant, and consider what it might still be teaching us. We’ll sing it, sit with it, and listen again—trusting that sometimes an old song can open new space when we give it our full attention.

I got on a bus headed south, past San Antonio to a community called Dilley, Texas. There is a modern day American internment / concentration / prison camp there, we call it a detention center. Let's talk about what I saw, what I learned, and what we might all need to learn if we want things to change.

How do we keep going? How do we embody resilience? Simone Monique Barnes shares the importance of having spiritual practices and tools that build our resilience and cultivate joy that is sustainable, even in hard times; joy that is not reliant on circumstances or situations, and that cannot be taken away.

San Gabriel UU Fellowship is seeking a warm, grounded Religious Exploration (RE) Guide to work with our elementary-age children on Sunday mornings. This role is for someone who loves kids, understands neurodivergence, and believes that relationship, agency, and trust matter more than compliance or control . Our RE program focuses on teaching life-giving practices — emotional regulation, empathy, cooperation, and spiritual curiosity — while drawing from Unitarian Universalism

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.

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

We say it every week: “When the light of truth burns all else away.” This Sunday, we pause to listen more closely to what that might mean. Among us are people who call themselves religious, spiritual, both, or neither; and many who aren’t sure where they belong. Together we’ll explore what these words reveal, what they obscure, and what might remain when the fire has done its work. This service makes room for insight, ritual, rhythm, and release; and invites each of us to lis

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.
