This is a yearly tradition in which a handful of your very own friends volunteer to "get up on their soapbox" to speak to us about something they feel is of great importance to them. This is our church's nod to the 1st ammendment rights of the people of this country. This year, we also commemorate the 250th Birthday of our country.

People try so hard to be remembered--to have a legacy--after their death. No other creature on the planet cares about this except humans. Guest speaker Bradley discusses his thoughts on humanity's fight against natural law, why we do it, and is there any point to it.
Please email all submissions for the July newsletter by Wednesday June 24th to newsletter@hvuuc.org.

How do we, as Unitarian Universalists, talk about God? The Unitarian Universalist hymn "Name Unnamed" offers us several metaphors for exploring and understanding concepts of the sacred. Rev. Tiffany will reflect on how our lives are interwoven with sacredness.
For $1500 HVUUC can get 125 radio spots aired on WETS during the year. We are $500 short. If we can raise the needed amount by June 20 we can get information about our church to a wide audience of radio listeners.
HVUUC has usually managed to raise enough money to get a yearly contract with WETS. Then we hear something like this on the radio:
"Support for WETS comes from Holston Valley Unitarian Universalist Church, a religious congregation working together as a church to share love, pursue justice, and seek wonder."
This year we are $500 short of our goal. Can you donate before the June 20 deadline? Pay by cash, check, or Zelle--just be sure to designate it for WETS. Thank you!
This report highlights accomplishments, challenges, and plans for 2026-2027. Our leaders are guided by HVUUC's Vision of "We work together as a church to transform ourselves, our community, and our world by sharing love, pursuing justice, and seeking wonder."
You can find the annual report in the “Members Area” of our website. If you need to password to the Members Area, email office@hvuuc.org.

What do we do with the word "evil." Many of us, who may have been called evil ourselves because of who we love or what we do or don't believe, probably want to shy away from the word altogether or claim that evil isn't real. But life in 2026 might be inviting us to name what evil actually is, and to consider what we might do about it. Rev. Tiffany offers her reflections on one of the big questions of life.
Here are some dates to keep in mind this summer involving staff absences and holidays.
Rev. Tiffany will be out June 15-July 13th.
Jess, our, DRE will be out June 14-June 20th and also July 6 - July 12th.
Our office manager will be out Tuesday June 30th and Thursday July 2 and our office will be closed that week.
No RE July 5th!
