Good morning!!!

06/09/2026

Friends, please show up if you can for a very worthy cause! And tacos!!

In Hays County, we show up for one another. When a neighbor is facing a difficult time, our community responds with compassion and care. Earlier this year, many community members rallied around the Reyes family after Gerardo Reyes Gonzalez was detained and separated from his loved ones. Neighbors stood beside the family throughout a long and difficult journey. Thanks to that support and the family's resilience, Gerardo was ultimately reunited with his loved ones after 77 days.

Today, the Reyes family is continuing to rebuild. After months of lost income, legal expenses, and uncertainty, they still need our support as they work toward stability.

Join the Reyes family for a Taco Plate Fundraiser to help support their recovery and rebuilding efforts. Mano Amiga will be there!

Friday, June 12 → 4:00 PM - 7:30 PM
Unitarian Universalists of New Braunfels → 135 Alves Lane, New Braunfels, TX 78130
Suggested donation: $15

Every meal purchased helps support the family's recovery. If you cannot attend, please consider sharing this event with your friends and family or donating at bit.ly/4uDWbC9

Together, we can continue showing what community care looks like.

Where my theater kids?!?! We need you!!

It’s our First Annual Summer Musical Worship Series!! At 10:00am Sundays for the next 5 weeks we’ll be looking for our friends to come join us in SINGING, community, and a lotta JOY. That, in itself, is resistance!

So come help us sing and play!!!

6/7 Sound of Music
6/14 Hairspray
6/21 Wizard of Oz / The Wiz
6/28 Mama Mia
7/5 Wicked / The Wiz

Since the CCLI license most churches use to fairly play and stream music doesn’t cover the songs we’ll be singing, zoom audio will be muted during the songs.

So come in person if you can and join us in ROCKING the sanctuary with JOY and laughter and community and great music!! COSTUMES WELCOME!!!

Have you seen those graphics where people are "protecting" their children from the LGBTQIA+ rainbow with a Bible, a cross, or a shield?

I thought I'd draw an alternative reality. One where protection looks like love instead of fear.
Where affirmation replaces rejection. Where belonging is stronger than division. Where we shield people from shame, not from each other.

I like this version better.🌈

Truth!

You are the resilience that remains steadfast in the face of every challenge. You embody the determination to seek a better path, and you summon the strength to rise each morning, ready to confront whatever comes your way.

You carry within you a light that brightens your own heart and serves as a beacon of hope for others.
Your dignity shines through as you accept life’s trials without drama, yet still find the time and compassion to nurture those in need.

You are the grace that not only lifts your spirit but also tenderly elevates the spirits of those around you. You are the solution, the inspiration, a testament to the truth that you are not defined by the weight of your troubles, whether past or present.
And that is why I'm proud of you ..
