No In-Person or Zoom service this Sunday, But Opportunities to Connect With the Community.

On Sunday, September 13, Tapestry will be off-site while CJCN holds Rosh Hashanah services. The Worship Team has decided that this is the perfect opportunity for Tapestry to get out into the community! Instead of gathering at CJCN that Sunday, we invite you to find your own way to connect, contribute, explore, or lend a hand. Then, when we gather again on Sunday, September 20, we’ll have an opportunity to share with one another how you got involved!

Here are a few ideas:

* Volunteer to plant seeds in NAM’s Community Garden! There are many opportunities, not just on September 13, so feel free to volunteer on another day if that works better for you! Sign up at NAM’s website.
* Volunteer at a pet shelter near you. Some shelters require more than a one-day commitment or have age restrictions, so be sure to check their requirements before showing up.
* Join a clean-up crew at a nearby park—or create your own! And perhaps enjoy a picnic in your newly beautified space afterward!
* Spend some time contacting your representatives about an issue you feel passionate about. Look up key phrases to use or even find a pre-written letter, but remember to include your own details and experiences to make your message personal.
* Visit a museum, either in person or virtually, and leave a positive comment or review about your experience.
* Come up with your own way to get involved! Big or small, we’d love to hear about it.

We’ll see you on September 20 for services—and we can’t wait to hear how you spent your Community Sunday!

This Sunday's service: "Water Communion" by Tracy Cook.
Water Communion is a beloved Unitarian Universalist tradition celebrating community, connection, and renewal. Please bring water from places or experiences that hold special meaning for you, and we will combine those waters into a shared vessel. As the waters mingle, they symbolize the many journeys, stories, and gifts we each bring to our community, and remind us that, together, we create something greater than any one of us.

This Sunday's Service: "Finding Community in the Garden" by Dawn Newcomer
Community gardening is much more than just planting seeds and watering; it’s about sowing the seeds of community, health, sustainability, spirituality, freedom, democracy and education. As urban landscapes continue to evolve, community gardens stand as testaments to what people can achieve when they come together for a common good.

This Sunday's service: "Virtual and Hybrid Ministry: Mindful Care and Connection" by Dana Ashrawi.
Tapestry UU Church of Houston has contracted a new minister who will be joining us remotely at times. We already offer Zoom access to worship services, along with many other congregations. So, what new and current practices will be important to our growing community? How can we begin again with Multiplatform worship, keeping what works while expanding into new ways? Based on a workshop at the Unitarian Universalist Association's 2026 virtual General Assembly, this sermon will explore emerging best practices and wisdom for virtual and hybrid ministry as faithful, effective responses to a growing reality in Unitarian Universalism - Multiplatform group events such as the worship services of our congregation. Let's delve into new ideas to foster stronger relationships between a minister and congregation and support volunteer leadership, grounded in UU values. Let's expand our denominational imagination and embrace new possibilities for even more mindful and meaningful ministry and leadership.

This Sunday's Service: "Not So Different After All; Commonalities in the World Religions"
by Rev. Dr. Laura McGuire
Differences in belief often drive division in community; we see this now more than ever in the world around us and in our own faith. And yet, by pausing to learn about the things that are interwoven across all traditions, we can awaken with curiosity to the truths that connect us. Join us this Sunday as we explore how all the religions of the world align through a humorous story about the difference between proselytizing and evangelizing.

This Sunday's service: "Muse of Pain, Muse of Healing" by David Throop, who will be talking about how the arts heal us.

This Sunday's Sermon: "All Work and No Play?" by Bill Cork
Many of us grew up with a version of the “Protestant Work ethic,” that put supreme value on hard work and sacrifice. Today, we see that reflected in some successful entrepreneurs on social media who laugh at the idea of “work-life balance.” In the Bible, rest and play are divine commands; God is portrayed as creative and inviting us into the divine play and divine rest. Rest is not merely good advice, but is to participate in God’s holiness.

This Sunday: Too Much, or Bravely Yourself?
by Monica White
What does it mean to be fully yourself in a world that keeps asking you to be smaller? This sermon explores authenticity not as performance, but as integrity: the brave and tender work of living truthfully without demanding that others stop being human too.
