The Miracle of Laughter
Rev. Mark Skrabacz
Humor is a healthy and powerful antidote to stress, pain and conflict. On this Youth Sunday when we involve our youth
in presenting our Service, let's lighten our burdens, inspire hope, connect with each other and ground ourselves in the
power of a good laugh.

Practice, Practice, Practice
Page Britt & Justin Pehoski
Buddhism is not something you believe in but something you do. Although meditation is fundamental to Buddhist
practice, what happens when you are at work, school, or home with your family? How do you take your highest
principles and put them into practice? More than a creed, Buddhism offers every-day tools for cultivating an open heart
and clear mind, so that you can engage the world with compassion and wisdom.
Justin Pehoski and Paige Britt are both writers with long-held meditation practices. In addition to attending SGUUF,
they are members of Appamada, a contemporary Zen community in Austin. They previously spent a year and a half as
resident staff at an interspiritual retreat center in Oklahoma. Currently, they help facilitate the SGUUF’s meditation
group and host a weekly book study group focused on mindfulness. Paige has a master’s in theology and works as a
spiritual director, helping others develop a life of contemplative practice.

The Minister’s Mind
The Rev. Mark Skrabacz
Using Our Brains
As many of you will recall, we recently devoted a Sunday Service to
the subject of Spirituality and the Brain. During the Service, I made
the statement that regardless of our experiences of spirituality, we
all have brains and the power to change them. In this column, I'd like
to share more deeply some of the knowledge that is available about
the brain, and some applications that pertain to the life of our
Fellowship.
Last month's Minister's Mind engaged the topic of our Long Range
Planning and the Next Steps we will take in crafting goals and
strategies for our upcoming five years. Our process has been
designed to assure that all of us understand that we are in this
together. This means that San Gabriel is a safe place for each of us to
talk about our concerns and to address them so that they can be
heard. Any process that anticipates the need for change will raise
some anxiety. People who are anxious have a tendency to
overestimate the threats and underestimate the opportunities and
resources.
That is a principle of brain science, because we each possess a brain
system that reacts to threat. It's precisely the principle employed by
terrorists, who are expert in attacking and disrupting our basic sense
of safety and security. These values of safety and security are the
most fundamental in our human experience. In any controversy:
ideological, theological or congregational (to name a few) there will
be anxiety raised in discussions and processes involving change.
That's why we are structuring our Fellowship's response to the need
for planning as a mutual sharing and listening.
Caring and sharing activates the parts of our brain that are not
threatened. The more we move together from that motivation and in
that type of shared experience, our needs for safety and security will
be met and we will make progress together. I'd like for all of us to
consider the process of our Long Range Planning as one in which we
value our core needs. Take, for example, the following from the
neuro-scientific works of Rick Hanson.
 When our basic needs for connection are met, we experience a
sense of love.
 When our basic needs for satisfaction are met, we experience a
sense of contentment.
 When our basic needs for safety are met, we experience a state
of calm and peace.
May we move forward in the exploration of our common future with
a commitment to meeting our basic needs and cherishing our
common core values as described in our Mission statement. SGUUF is
a community that welcomes diversity, embraces compassion, invites
participation and practices liberal religion in accordance with our UU
principles.

Against Racism Meeting
Tuesday, April 7, 6:30 p.m.
Room 13, First Unitarian Universalist Church of Austin

Inspired by the national UU Allies for Racial Equity, we are building a group for
white allies to meet and work together to “serve as partners in the journey of transforming our faith
movement and the world.”
Our next meeting will be a chance to meet, to talk about our call to this path of anti-racism work, and
to discover what we can do together to confront racism and unlearn white supremacy.

An Invitation
to Participate in
Courageous Conversations About Racism
The Social Justice Committee invites our members and friends to participate in a 4 week series of
“Courageous Conversations” on the topic of racism, white privilege, and being allies to people of
color.
This initiative comes out of a local interfaith effort of White and African American church leaders in
Georgetown who have been discussing race issues and seeking to find ways to address the lingering
effects of slavery, Jim Crow laws, and segregation that continue to plague our country. The African
American leaders encouraged congregations like ours to engage in serious conversations about
racial issues. So, this series of conversations within SGUUF will focus on racial discrimination, the
dynamics of white privilege, and ways to achieve racial reconciliation in a safe, yet honest and
constructive atmosphere.
It is our hope that these “Courageous Conversations” will prepare us to strengthen race relations
and eliminate racism in our community. This series of conversations will be held at the church on
Sunday afternoons 3-5:00 p.m., from April 26th through May 24th (We will not meet May 10th Mother's Day).
More information about these Courageous Conversations will be presented in the coming month.
To sign up to participate, please contact Lalena Parkhurst at [email protected] or 512-5081485.

Our Earth, Our Interdependent Web
Keith Hutchinson, Board President
The trees are filled with bright green leaves, iris and red
poppies are blooming, and warm weather draws more
of us outdoors on sunny days with blue skies. April is a
good month to appreciate the environment in which we
live and our connection to the interdependent web of
all existence, our seventh UU principle.
To mark Earth Day on April 22, Jim Wooll plans to give
an Earth Day sermon on Sunday, April 26. I believe that
Jim will mention some of the ways we can live more
sustainably at home, at work, and at our San Gabriel UU
campus. From recycling to composting to water and
energy conservation, there are ways that each of us can
walk lighter and use fewer of the Earth’s resources.
Our Green Sanctuary Committee continues to promote
these efforts. Our youth are doing their part as they
continue to work in the horticulture beds. The
committee’s work recently got a boost from the City of
Georgetown. By January 2016, a wind farm near
Amarillo will provide 90 percent of Georgetown’s
energy demand. By the end of 2016, a solar farm near
Fort Stockton will come online, making our power 100
percent green. What can we do to start spreading the
message that San Gabriel UU is a Green Sanctuary in a
city soon to be 100% green?
UUs from across the
country are participating
in Commit2Respond, a
coalition of UUs and
other people of faith and
conscience working for
climate justice. Climate
Justice Month activities in
April include actions such
as
committing
to
divesting from fossil fuels,
working on a Green Sanctuary committee, participating
in a service and learning program with a community
affected by climate change, or registering for a young
adult climate justice training that will happen in Chicago
in August. Find out more about what UUs are doing and
how to get involved at commit2respond.org.
In many ways, April is a good month to enjoy our green
outdoors and recommit to helping our home, our
church, and our community be more sustainable.

SGUUF was proud to help sponsor the inaugural Deidre Furr
Essay Awards Ceremony. There were about 75 persons in
attendance at the event, including family, friends and fellow
teachers of Deirdre Furr. The theme for the essay contest was
“Why is marriage equality important?” The competition was
open to high school students in Georgetown to honor the
memory of the teacher who founded the first Gay Straight
Alliance at Georgetown High School. The 1st Place prize of
$300 was awarded to Alex Kadair, a senior at Richarte High
School. Andrew Ellison, a senior at Georgetown High School
took the $150 2nd Place prize. The 3rd Place prize of $50 was
taken by Maria Rosales, also a senior at Richarte High School.
Congratulations to these award-winning students, and many

UU Kids Program
We have a New Lead Teacher!! Her name
is Tarah. Parents – come by and say Hi!
The SGUUF UU Kids Program begins our
youth on a journey in exploring UU
beliefs, values, and principles. This year
this group is using a curriculum called
“Foot Prints” from the UU Tapestries of
Faith Program. Also included are game
days and service projects.
Youth, grades 1st – 6th, attend this
program while their parents attend
Sunday Service and are sung out after
the Story For All Ages.
A gluten-free/peanut-free snack is
provided. There is a donation box for
snacks in the Little House. Cost for
snacks is usually about $1 per child each
Sunday.
All children need to be picked up by
12:00 unless there is a schedule function
after service where child care has been
arranged.
In April the UUKids Program will include:
April 5 – Old Man Winter Party
April 12 – 7th Principle
April 19 – Game Day
April 26 – 7th Principle
The SGUUF Pre-RE program is a safe place for children from
walking infants through 1st grade to play while their parents
attend the Sunday Service. Because we know some children
this age can be shy about new environments or being away
from their parents, this program pays two teachers to ensure
that the children have the same caregivers in the room each
time.
Children can be dropped off at 10:15 a.m., before service, or
be sung out with the other children after the Story For All
Ages. All children need to be picked up by 12:00 p.m., unless
there is a schedule function after service where child care has
been arranged. Parents need to sign out youth.
A gluten-free/peanut-free snack is provided. There is a
donation box for snacks in the Little House. Cost for snacks is
usually about $1 per child each Sunday. It is fine to contribute
for many Sundays at once.
