Nursery Pick-Up Reminder
A friendly reminder that our wonderful nursery caregivers provide care for our littlest members each Sunday from 9:15 AM–12:15 PM.
As we continue nurturing an intergenerational church community, we invite families to pick up their children promptly following the worship service so they can join the congregation for coffee hour, potlucks, and other opportunities to connect across generations.
If you anticipate needing childcare beyond 12:15 PM on a particular Sunday, please reach out to our Director of Religious Exploration, Jess Ox, at hvuucdre@gmail.com in advance so we can explore available options together.
Thank you for helping us create a caring and connected community for all ages!
Join us for church on July 12, 2026.

HVUUC member, Wanda E., explores ideas of worth and dignity as we age. Retirement doesn't mean uselessness. It enables us to find new ways to offer our many life's experiences and dispel the negative nomenclature of aging.
MUSIC LOVERS: James Shawcross and Sierra Stratton-Ramsay will be preforming a flute sonata for our special music this Sunday.
