I am a young woman (in STEM 💪🏻🤓) who broke off from the Catholic Church years ago as a young adult when it no longer resonated with me. Since then, I have identified as atheist, but have missed a congregation/community as well as a framework that helps me to push myself to be better and explore my views and opinions. I truly never thought I would be excited about a religion ever again (or welcomed in one), until I discovered UU this last week. I cannot tell you how excited I am that I discovered this! I am 1000% sure that this resonates with me and I am jumping in headfirst, reading “A Chosen Faith.” With all the uncertainty in the world, this really does help me to feel better about life. In fact, the political uncertainty is what brought me here- as I am frustrated that religion is being used in many ways to harm people, where I think that its purpose should be to uplift and meet people where they are. I want to act on this belief. It’s also just nice to belong to a community, whether in person or in spirit. I plan on going to a local UU church this weekend. It’s been a hard year for me, and I just wanted to put out there how excited I am! I truly think UU will help me to be a better person! Thanks for reading (if you did) ❤️🥰

"Revisiting Stories: The Prodigal Son and Belonging"
Sunday, September 14, 2025
We talk about the importance of sacred stories. They come in many forms. The gentle ones whose wisdom goes down sweet and easy and the ones that require a lot more work. In my experience the Prodigal Son, a story told in the Gospel of Luke, is one that a lot of people want to toss aside. It pricks our notions of fairness, our own sibling rivalries. On Sunday we will roll up our sleeves and lean into it and see what wisdom it has to offer. It is a story particularly relevant to the question of belonging. This Sunday we will also ritual confer on the Rev. Alyson Jack the title of Minister Emerita with a reception to follow!
Rev. Vanessa Rush Southern, Senior Minister, preaching; Rev. Laura Shennum, Minister of Congregational Life; Rev. Margot Campbell Gross, Minister Emerita; Rev. Alyson Jacks, Minister Emerita; Carmen Barsody, Worship Associate; Mark Caswell, Ministerial Intern; Linda Enger, Vice Moderator, Board of Trustee; Reiko Oda Lane, organist; UUSF Choir led by Mark Sumner, Music Director; Wm. García Ganz, pianist
Shulee Ong; Camera Operator; Desired Effect, Sound; Jonathan Silk, Order of Service; Kelvin Jones, Jose Matias Pineda, and Francisco Castellanos, Sextons; Judy Payne, Flowers; Linda Messner, Head Usher

Our democracy is fragile, and recent headlines remind us just how dangerous political violence has become in our public life. Safety cannot come at the expense of others and attempts to silence or harm political opponents threaten the very fabric of democracy itself.
As people of faith, we know that democracy is not about domination, it’s about covenant: how we live together, honor each other’s dignity, and shape a shared future. We also know that true safety comes not from fear and weapons, but from building communities of belonging and accountability. That’s why we must continue to press for common-sense gun reform and resist a culture that normalizes violence.
At Side With Love, we organize not out of nostalgia for a broken past, but out of hope for a liberatory future. A multiracial democracy where everyone’s voice matters is only possible when we reject violence and instead practice love in action.
In this month’s email, you’ll find resources, trainings, and upcoming events to help you put that love into practice: registering voters, protecting elections, and strengthening the collective power we need to build a democracy where all can thrive.
In solidarity,
Side With Love
Protect Nonprofits & Their Employees: Submit a Public Comment by Wednesday, September 17 to the Department of Education
The Department of Education has proposed an amendment to the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program that would “exclude employers that engage in activities that have a ‘substantial illegal purpose.’ The vague descriptions of what are considered “illegal activities” are little more than a smokescreen to punish nonprofits and employees who may support immigrant justice, bodily autonomy, and more.
Image description: On a blue background is a black and white stylized photograph of two hands holding up a sign that reads "No Kings" with a drawing of a crown crossed out. Above it, in white text against a red background, reads: "Join us to Make it Clear" then "America Has No Kings. Power Belongs to the People." There's a red line, and then white text reads: "Saturday, October 18".
The Unitarian Universalist Association has signed on as an official partner of the No Kings National Day of Mobilization on Saturday, October 18. Building on the momentum from the first No Kings protests in June, we are mobilizing for another mass day of resistance, resilience, and action. Our commitment to building a multiracial democracy shows up in how we resist the abduction and deportation of our immigrant community members; how we resist voter suppression in the legislature and at the ballot box; how we celebrate our LGBTQ+ kin and communities - and on October 18, shows up in how we collectively cry out No Kings! (Interested in hosting a local #NoKings event with your UU congregation? Register your event here to receive training and resources.

💬 “Unitarian Universalists are neither a chosen people nor a people whose choices are made for them by theological authorities—ancient or otherwise. We are a people who choose.” — Forrest Church, “A Chosen Faith: An Introduction to Unitarian Universalism.”
Unitarian Universalism is a tradition shaped not by dogma, but by the choices we make—again and again—for love, justice, and community.
Thank you to the Unitarian Fellowship of Houston for lifting up this reminder of what grounds us as UUs: the freedom and responsibility to choose our faith, our commitments, and our actions.

The message was delivered on Sunday, September 14, 2025, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Rev. Dr. Nicole Kirk, Program Minister. DESCRIPTION: What happens when midnight falls across a nation's soul, and darkness seems so deep we can barely see which way to turn? An ancient parable about a friend's desperate knock at midnight becomes a powerful lens for understanding our current moment—where fear builds, divisions widen, and people push one another away. Yet in this darkness comes an urgent plea not for simple charity, but for something far more transformative: the bread of love that affirms every person's worth and dignity. From the 1963 March on Washington to an 80-year-old woman's determined climb up 342 steps to the crown of the Statue of Liberty, discover how ordinary people make extraordinary choices to unfold their hearts rather than fold them closed. When the world profits from our isolation and feeds on our fear, what does it mean to choose unfolding as the ultimate act of resistance?
