Unitarian Universalist Fellowship Sunday Service
Speakers: UUFSMA Social Justice Foundation Team
by Kate Greenaway, UUFSMA member
Launched in early 2024 as the social justice wing of the UUFSMA, the UU Social Justice Foundation (SJF) is taking stock of its first two years and gearing up for its third annual “Gifts For Good campaign.” In spring 2026, the SJF will once again turn your generosity into outreach grants for local NGOs that serve our community.
Behind every gift, grant application, and number is a human story. Children, women, families, and migrants remind us why our UU commitment to justice, equity, and compassion matters – not as an idea, but as a daily practice.
In this week’s service, the SJF team will spotlight two remarkable partners:
EEE School for the Deaf, founded in 2012, serves disadvantaged deaf students from nearby communities. The school builds literacy and independence through a comprehensive curriculum, state-of-the-art technology, and partnerships with families and schools. Who are the young people at the heart of this work? What does success look like for them?
ABBA House, founded in 2015 by Pastor Ignacio and his family, serves migrants passing through Celaya. Many arrive with severe injuries and urgent needs. With the US border now slammed shut, how has the work changed? What are ABBA House’s most critical priorities in 2026? Who are the migrants still taking these risks for their families?

Unitarian Universalism is a liberal faith centered on shared values for living. Our UU Fellowship welcomes people of all ages, races, religions, sexual orientations, and gender identities. We gather not around a belief in divinity, but around community, love, compassion, social justice, reverence for nature, and the spirituality of music within the interconnected web of existence.
Young Explorers is UUFSMA’s bilingual religious education program for children and youth ages 5-15. Classes are held twice a month. Everyone is welcome. Contact Anne Geyer at annegeyer12@gmail.com to learn more.
