“Attachment, Connection, and Covenant”

Rev. Tiffany explores the human impulse to connect, looking specifically at the different ways humans form attachments and relate to each other. We will look at the Unitarian Univeralist tool of Covenant and how that can inform the ways we connect with each other as a community.

Risk Discernment Workshop

Make your wishes known as the congregation discerns which risks we want to take together as a community to transform ourselves, our community and our world!

On Sunday January 25th after church, Rev. Tiffany and team of our church leaders will be facilitating a Risk Discernment workshop sponsored by the Unitarian Universalist's social justice organization Side with Love. 

This workshop is designed specifically for us to gauge the risk tolerances of congregation members so that we can make better decisions about what is worth doing and what is too risky for our congregation when it comes to social justice matters.  But we can't do that unless you come and let us know where you're at.  We hope this workshop will be very well attended to help us get a clear sample of congregational values, hopes, and boundaries.

The youth group will be providing lunch as a fundraiser right after church, and the workshop itself will go from 1-3pm.

Please use the sign up sheet on the back table of the sanctuary, or email risk@hvuuc.org to let us know you're coming (and to help the youth prepare enough food).
