TUUCAN Fall Flock

The Tennessee Unitarian Universalist Community Action Network (TUUCAN) invites all Tennessee UUs to Nashville for the Fall Flock on Saturday, October 18th, at First UU Church of Nashville (FUUN) from 9 am to 4 pm (Central Time)

We will share food, fellowship, and support each other during these difficult times in our cities, state, and country. We will learn how UU State Action Networks across the United States turn UU values into positive action. We will nurture deeper relationships, strengthen our social justice ecosystem, and create plans for a world with love at the center.

We hope to represent - in person or via Zoom - each of our 14 UU communities in Tennessee and beyond. Register at https://bit.ly/tuucan25 or email sjchair@hvuuc.org for questions or assistance.

If attending via zoom, keep in mind that the event will be 10:00-5:00 Eastern Standard Time

Congregation will have an opportunity to participate in a mini session lead by Facilitators in order to experience how a Covenant Group works.

Service Auction Donations Needed

Believe it or not. It's time to think about the Service Auction on November 8th.

If you’re new to HVUUC, our Service Auction is a much anticipated event every fall. Yes, it’s a fundraiser but really it’s more of a FUN raiser, where you and other congregants get together to offer a service, event, or item.

There’s no limit to the activities or the items you can “auction” off. You can offer handyman services, teach a paint party, host a dinner, auction off baked goods, original art, and more! Wherever your passion and talents lie, there’s room for it at the service auction.

Want to provide a meal but don't have the room? Use the churches kitchen for your event! You can check the church calendar on our website and reserve time and space by emailing office@hvuuc.org.

We would encourage you to donate items that can be redeemed any time during the next year.

Donate your services, event, or items using the Auctria website using the link below. Email auction@hvuuc.org with any questions.

Click here to donate now.
