2026 Service Auction Coming Up!

November 7th is our annual Service Auction.


What is a Service Auction?

Great question!  A service auction is a Fun Raiser in which friends and members donate services. We, all the members and friends of this HVUUC community, can bid on these services to win them. The winning bidders will pay the church, while the donor of the service provides the service.


What does a service mean?

A service can be something like a movie night for four with snacks, a murder mystery game night, homemade soup for delivery in January, a dinner for eight, four hours of handy work or garden tending, a ladies evening by the pool, or leading a hike.

I’ve not seen anyone offer a decluttering service; do you have that skill to offer? Ideas are nearly limitless. If it sounds daunting, you can team up with someone else to offer a service. The auction is also open to donated goods for sale – solicit business gift cards or business donations, etc.


Finally - the night of the auction is a terrific social event featuring a live auction with auctioneer, and a silent auction. Substantial finger foods and libations and child-care are provided.

You'll hear more through email, the HVUUC website, and testimonials in the coming services. Email auction@hvuuc.org with any questions.

Lots of Ways to Volunteer with RE!

✨ Many Gifts, One Community

Religious Exploration is growingβ€”and with that growth comes more opportunities for our whole community to help bring it to life! πŸ’œ

Volunteering with RE doesn't have to mean becoming a teacher. There are so many ways to share your time, interests, skills, and gifts:

● Lead a class and help guide exploration and conversation.

● Assist a lead facilitator and be an extra supportive presence.

● Support Wonder Worship and help create meaningful worship experiences for our youngest UUs.

● Help with communications, organization, or behind-the-scenes projects.

● Lend a hand where needed without committing to an ongoing role.

If you've been a friend of HVUUC for 3 months or longer, stop by the Volunteer Sign-Up Board in the church lobby and see where you might like to jump in!

For the safety of our children and youth, background checks are required for volunteers working directly with them and are fully provided by the church.

Our programs don't happen because of one person. They happen because a community of people chooses to show up, share what they have, and create something meaningful together.

You don't have to do everything. Come share your something. πŸ’œβœ¨

β€œCreativity and Capitalism: Who are We Becoming with AI?”

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.
