Live Oak will share donations in April with the Transgender Education Network of Texas. This nonprofit's efforts are all the more critical this year in light of dire anti-trans actions emanating from the governor's office. TENT provides educational programs on trans issues to businesses, schools, city governments and other groups. It advocates for transgender students in the classroom; works for ordinances around the state to include protections of gender identity; and, among other things, provides resources for transgender Texans and their families. It partners with other equality organizations during Texas Legislature sessions to fight proposed bills that harm transgender adults and kids.

Go to the Donate link on the Live Oak website’s home page. Use the drop down menu to designate your donation for “Share the Plate”.

Rev. Joanna will be on sabbatical through August 31. During this time, we will be sharing some of her writings.

Today's: "USING YOUR UNIVERSAL THEOLOGICAL TRANSLATOR" For years, many UUs have talked about something found on Star Trek, that is a useful metaphor for us.

The What's Happening page lives here now. The link is posted on the home page of the new website. Scroll down and click on the picture of the calendar.

On May 15, 2022 following church service we will holding a Congregational Meeting. During this meeting we will be electing our Board Representatives and voting on plans for growth. Please be there as we will need 1/3 of the Congregation for quorum. Attendance via YouTube is also available here.

All summer long, we will have time in service for any LOUUer to show off their talent. Sign up here to pick your day, and start practicing. One act per week (group or individual) and all ages and talents welcome. Acts should generally run under 10 minutes but if you need more time, just let us know. You can define the word “talent” any way you want, so be creative! Let’s show Reverend Jami what we have!

We return to an in-person gathering at Live Oak UU Church after two years on Zoom. We gather for a sharing circle and a labyrinth walk enlivened by the energy of the full moon. A full lunar eclipse will occur later that night at 11:11 p.m. Please bring something for the altar that is meaningful to you. Feel free to share a song, poem or short reading. The group is open to women high school age and older. Our next meeting is June 12, the second Sunday of the month. Contact: Linda Webster

The Live Oak Meditation Group is now meeting again in the library on Sundays from noon to 1:30 PM. Meetings consist of a 2 minute or so personal check-in to update the group on what is going on in your life, a 20-minute period of meditation (sitting on a cushion or in a chair), a 5-minute walking meditation, followed by a reading and discussion of a book on meditation practice or objectives that has been selected by group vote. There is also a Zoom link up. These are open sittings so that you can also come late or leave early. Membership is open to adults who are either inside the Live Oak community or outside the Live Oak community. For more information, contact John Danewicz.

This month, on Friday, May 20th, Fresh Food For All participants will be able to select their own produce (Farmer's Market style), instead of having the prepackaged produce placed in their car trunks. This means that we will no longer need volunteers on Thursday to sort the food, but we will need more volunteers on Friday to help with directing traffic, weighing the food, and helping people carry food to their cars. If you can help anytime on May 20th between 8:30 and 11AM, RSVP to Donna Durbin.

2. When you go grocery shopping pick up a few extra items for Hill Country Community Ministries and drop them off at the church. The HCCM monthly needs list can be found here .
