Upcoming Service

Milestone Sunday!

May 19, 2024

On this day we gather together to celebrate the many milestones of our community, such as graduations, recipients of our scholarship program with Travis Early College High School, career milestones, and more. Stay afterwards for our potluck (and bring your favorite dish, entree, or snack to share)!

Children and youth in grades pre-k through 12th will be meeting in person in their classes after being present in the sanctuary for the first part of the service. The nursery is available for babies and children from 6 weeks to 5 years old during the entire service period. You may choose either option for your child if they are 4.5 or 5 years old.

When Joy is Hard to Find

May 26, 2024

Join us this morning as Rev. Krista shares some of her own struggles with joy, and talks about how joy can help us build resilience, strength, and courage. We'll explore the ways joy can save us in challenging times and learn how gratitude can be a key to unlocking joy.

Rev. Krista Weber Huang previously served as the minister for the San Marcos Unitarian Universalist Fellowship. She will be leaving Texas this summer to serve Merging Waters Unitarian Universalist Congregation in Fridley, MN (formerly named Michael Servetus Unitarian Society) as their full time minister. She lives with her spouse Eric, their almost 6 year old Lenny, and their 9 month old Felix. She enjoys being outside, creating art, and reading in her free time.

Children and youth in grades pre-k through 12th will be meeting in person in their classes after being present in the sanctuary for the first part of the service. The nursery is available for babies and children from 6 weeks to 5 years old during the entire service period. You may choose either option for your child if they are 4.5 or 5 years old.
