So much has changed, both with technology and humanity, since Rev. Tiffany last explored topics around Artificial Intelligence. So she revisits this topic, this time with an eye toward who we humans are becoming as usage of AI becomes more pervasive in our society.

It’s not uncommon for scammers to pose as members or staff of the church. Please remember that no one from HVUUC will ever spontaneously reach out to you and ask for you to purchase something with promises of being reimbursed later!

There has been SO MUCH community care happening behind the scenes and in plain sight lately! Religious Exploration is never created by one person—it comes to life through all the many ways our community shows up, pitches in, adapts, and shares their gifts.
This week, a whole lot of gratitude goes to:

What if the joy, healing, and clarity we seek are not something to be given to us, but something we already hold within? Join Jess Ox for an experiential service exploring The Journey Home—the movement from unconscious living to embodied wisdom. Through original music, guided breath, reflection, and insights drawn from multiple spiritual traditions, we'll explore how awareness transforms the way we experience ourselves, one another, and the world around us. This service invites us to pause, listen deeply, and remember the wholeness that has been within us all along.
Our internet service has been interrupted at the church due to reasons out of our control so the office will be closed this week and until further notice. We are hoping that the issue will be resolved soon. Thank you for your understanding. You can still reach the office with any church needs at office@hvuuc.org.
