The third movement in our series developmentally exploring Deepa Iyer's social change ecosystem rises to the head — to those who help us see. The Visionaries, Storytellers, and Builders give the movement its direction, its meaning, and its architecture.

July 12, 2026 - The second sermon in a four-part series reading Deepa Iyer's social change ecosystem — from her book Social Change Now, the 2025–26 Unitarian Universalist Association common read — through a developmental lens drawn from the Enneagram's centers: gut, heart, and head; plus spirit. This episode turns from gut to heart: the feeling triad, whose underlying struggle is shame, and the two ecosystem roles where heart energy finds its work — Caregivers and Healers. Al

We begin a four-part series exploring Deepa Iyer's social change ecosystem — from her book Social Change Now, the Unitarian Universalist Association's common read — through a developmental lens drawn from the Enneagram's three centers: gut, heart, and head, plus spirit. This episode explores the instinctive (gut/body) triad: the people whose call to justice arrives as anger, and the three ecosystem roles where that energy finds its work — Frontline Responders ("do something")

In our Social Justice Sunday service on June 28, Chuck Collins and Lou Snead will invite our congregation to consider the many ways we can resist feeling powerless to stand up against the forces of political authoritarianism, religious self-righteousness, and racial superiority that seem to be dominating our nation’s political landscape today. In the spirit of the resistance expressed in the hippie and black power movements of the 1960s and 1970s our congregation is encoura

Join us at 9:30 am to participate in a streaming of the Music and Worship Service from the Unitarian Universalist Association's General Assembly for this year. Begin Sunday by lifting your voice in song with fellow Unitarian Universalists. This joyful gathering invites all participants to join in beloved hymns and spirited music that connect us across distance and difference. No experience is needed, just bring your voice and your heart. Sunday morning worship is the heart of

As Bill Withers sings, "Then I look at you, and the world's alright with me. Just one look at you, and I know it's gonna be: A lovely day!" Think of this as a love letter to the congregation and to all those who gather in joy and in sorrow to work toward the beloved community that signals a lovely day for all. We will have our Annual Congregational Meeting after service.

On the first Sunday of each month, we explore our Soul Matters theme. For this month, that's Flourishing Together. We are also celebrating our annual Flower Communion so all are encouraged to bring a flower and leave service with a different one! After service we're having a congregational information meeting and potluck.

Our covenants are promises that are the foundation of our congregational polity - they make us, practitioners without creed or canon, a bound community. But why? What do these promises make possible? Combining the work of Parker Palmer and James Luther Adams, we'll put forward a claim about our community's purpose and process.

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.

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.

Congregant and community leader Chuck Collins shares a version of American History as seen through the eyes of his family's history.

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,

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
