In June 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, concluding that there was no constitutional right to an abortion. This decision allowed TX's extreme anti-abortion legislation to go into effect almost immediately, limiting Texans' ability to obtain an abortion in practically all circumstances. This presentation will discuss the current legal landscape of abortion and reproductive rights in Texas and its present and future impacts on peoples' lives. It will also explore how we move forward as a community to not only protect a person's right to obtain an abortion, but also to build, or transition to a different legal, political, and cultural landscape to create a truly just and more equitable Texas for all.

Melissa Thrailkill took our pulpit to deliver this important update. Melissa describes herself as a lawyer and a lover of music, fashion, coffee, politics and running for days.

What does it mean to be fully human and fully divine--the best representation of you on the Earth. With Rev. Deneen Robinson.

We as a society have become accustomed to defining how far a person has come on their journey through life by the measure of the successes they have achieved. But, as much as we may not like to admit it, our failures also have a lot to say about how far we have come...and often they have more to say about how we view life than success.

Matt Pargeter-Villarreal takes us through a sermon journey of some of the failures that he has encountered and have impacted his life...and how he wouldn’t have it any other way.

Water Shaman Lawrence Jordan presents the message that God is everywhere. Lawrence also talks about the Lion's Gate and forgiveness.

Stan Yoder takes our pulpit to ask: What if the search for Truth led us through laughter? An explorer checks out religions in a parallel universe and shares his thoughts. (Hey, nice shots from the James Webb Space Telescope on the way back,

Stan Yoder taught music for many years in public and private schools before switching to teaching science after getting into trouble for teaching students to think critically. (Not appreciated in North Texas music class, apparently.) However, teaching critical thinking is also not appreciated in high school science class in North Texas, either, if it's not specified precisely in the TEKS. So he retired early, tutored students, told jokes, and thought deep thoughts. Now he collaborates with folks who need a co-writer on their autobiographies—and still tells jokes. He also loves reading. Reading and thinking. Reading and thinking deep thoughts and hugging.

How we can be our best celebrating all our differences to reflect the fullness of the Divine. With Rev. Deneen Robinson

Now What??? Responding in times of hardship with dignity. With Rev. Deneen Robinson

"I Don't Believe In Monsters"
- The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl and the First Principle

Tanner Trask returns to our pulpit this week. As UUs, we covenant to affirm and promote the inherent worth and dignity of every person. It is a lofty goal, and an important one.

It is also the principle that many UUs struggle the most with. What about those who seek to do violence, physical or otherwise, to us and ours? What about the people that don't seem like people at all - what about the monsters?

UUs believe in the words and deeds of prophetic people. The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl may be a comic book character, but even she can show us how to confront powers and structures of evil with justice, compassion, and the transforming power of love.

The Groundwater Approach
Dr. Head-Dunham will examine the nature of racism in the United States by use of the groundwater metaphor. When one fish is floating belly-up, you look at the fish. When several are, you look at the lake. But when many fish are dying in multiple lakes, you must look at the groundwater connecting all the lakes.

Business taking action - Say Something:
Be a Better Ally
by Tsedale M. Melaku, Angie Beeman, David G. Smith, and W. Brad Johnson
Harvard Business Review, (November-December 2020).
https://hbr.org/2020/11/be-a-better-ally

"Summary - The Black Lives Matter and #MeToo movements have forced people in positions of power—namely, the white men who dominate institutional leadership roles—to realize they must personally step up to make organizations more fair and inclusive. That means playing a truly active role in helping marginalized colleagues advance (instead of just delegating diversity efforts to human resources).

How can white men be effective allies to those employees? First, by taking responsibility for their own behaviors, educating themselves about racism and privilege, and getting and accepting feedback from people in underrepresented groups. They can also become confidants to and sponsors of women and people of color and insist on diverse hiring pools and practices. They can vigilantly watch out for bias at work, intervening decisively if they discover it. Last, they can work to build a community of other allies against racism and sexism."
