Our annual interactive and intergenerational Water Communion service where we celebrate our interconnectivity is this Sunday. Many people bring water from their travels throughout the year, or from another water source that holds meaning for them.
If you’d like, please bring your water for water communion this Sunday!

The HVUUC Search Committee invites all congregational leaders, members, and friends to participate in Beyond Categorical Thinking, a virtual workshop that allows the entire congregation to explore our hopes and concerns for a new minister, learn more about the search process, and see how our own history (both personal and congregational) might interfere with our efforts in this search.
