Living into Our Shared Values: Justice
During this intergenerational worship service, we reflect on our UU shared value of Justice. This means that we work to be diverse multicultural Beloved Communities where all feel welcome and can thrive.

We have invited our friends, Erin Walter and Andrew Solin of ‘Parker Woodland’ as guest musicians for this service to help us reflect on this value of Justice. Activist power trio Parker Woodland plays dynamic, emotional rock-n-roll for finding joy in a world on fire and is hitting the road on their first multistage tour in September 2025. There's No Such Thing as Time, their debut full-length album, hit #24 on the Submodern album chart and includes summer bops "Ladder at Your Window" and "The World's on Fire (and We Still Fall in Love)." The female-majority band also addresses grief ("Stranger"), LGBTQIA+ rights ("Makeup") and climate chaos ("The Reckoning") in their songs while keeping hope alive with "major Go-Gos energy" (KUTX).
Parker Woodland will play a rare acoustic duo set, before the full band heads out on its first multistage tour in September. They will have t-shirts and records to sell to help put gas in the van, and would also like to invite Wildflower members to keep two upcoming LGBTQIA+ benefit shows they are playing: Aug. 31 at 29th St Ballroom (Louder Than Hate fest benefiting Equality Texas) and Sept. 6 at Empire Control Room (benefiting Queer Liberation Network) on their radars.
Each week, from June 1st through August 31st, the theme of our stories and music-filled services will reflect one of our UU Shared Values: Interdependence, Pluralism, Justice, Transformation, Generosity, Equity, with Love at the center of them all. Our summer services have a noticeably different intergenerational feel, with moments for journaling and self-reflection, inspired by and guided by our Time for All Ages story and special music meant to deepen our connection with the shared value of the day. (TFAA and music are our summer sermons.).
Our Opening Song for the month of August is Put a Little Love in Your Heart by Jackie DeShannon, Jimmy Holiday, and Randy Myers. Our summer-long Closing Hymn is #1008 When Our Heart is in a Holy Place.
Children and youth in kindergarten through 12th grade will not be meeting in their classes this Sunday as it is an intergenerational service. This means they too will be present to enjoy our special music by Parker Woodland! The nursery is available for babies and children from 6 weeks to 5 years old during the service.
