"Loving One's Country Means Demanding More From It" - This Sunday will feature a collection of readings about the United States, freedom, and the ambiguities we may be feeling in this moment. Different perspectives and voices will remind us that it has always been complicated, and that we are not alone in our mixture of conflicting feelings about patriotism and our nation.

"Summer Solstice" - Rev. Katie McQuage-Loukas - Thistle and Honey, BAUUC’s pagan group, will craft and lead a worship service to honor the summer solstice. Please join us for music and revelry to honor the season!

"Freedom Beyond the Wilderness" Guest Speaker: Bis Thorton - The Texas UU Justice Ministry is our statewide justice organization for UUs in Texas. This Sunday, TXUUJM's intern minister, artist and organizer Bis Thornton, joins us from Austin. Bis, a UU who graduated from a Presbyterian seminary, will explore what the story of Moses and his journey leading people to freedom can teach Texas UUs today in our own quest for justice and liberation.

"Freedom Blooms" - Rev. Katie McQuage-Loukas - We gather together, bringing our own individual gifts and personalities. In our gathering we are more than the sum of our parts. In becoming part of that larger whole, we are transformed, and we leave the gathering changed. Bring a flower for our Flower Communion (and we’ll have some if you forget!) to celebrate the beauty in our diversity, especially in June, for LGBTQIA+ pride!

"Grassroots Religion" - Rev. Katie McQuage-Loukas - We are a democratic religion! Not just because we vote on decisions and policies, though we do. Not only because we believe in the democratic process in world and national politics, though of course we do. We are democratic as a religion because everything we do is formed by all our people, from worship to education to justice work. Who we are shows up in everything we do.
