Executive Session Board Report

On 08/19/2025, the Board appointed a special task force to review policy around those who are survivors of domestic abuse. At a special Board meeting on 01/06/2026, the Safe Here Task Force reported back to the board with; a letter, a statement of conscience, a proposed Abuse Response Policy, appendices, and a proposed charge if the Board determined to create the suggested Survivor Care Collaborative. The Board reviewed the documents over the next two months, consulting with the UUA and an attorney. In an Executive Session at the Board’s meeting on 03/17/2026, the Board voted unanimously to move forward in the following ways to address concerns of survivors and those who are close to survivors, security, and covenantal living:

WETS-FM Spring 2021 Fund Drive

WETS-FM Spring 2021 Fund Drive

If you usually donate to WETS-FM or plan on donating this year, consider allowing your donation to help the church as well. We can continue to be an underwriter for programming which allows us to get our message out in the community. WETS gets 100% of the money, you still get the tax benefits, and our church gets our name out in the community. You can help two great organizations!

Pledge calls starting this week

Hello, friends!

We are making good progress in our pledge drive—we are at 75% of our goal, and 2/3 of our households have pledged so far. However, that also means we need to hear from the other 1/3 of households to raise the remaining 25%, so the Stewardship Committee will begin phone calls soon to follow up on the email and snail mail pledge requests.

Thanks so much for all the support you give the church and the work we do both within our walls and in the community. Your contributions in love, time, money, and spirit make our community what it is.

We are excited as we look forward to beginning a new church year in June, welcoming a new minister in August, and, hopefully, being able to see each other in person more regularly—and we invite you to join your fellow congregants in the joyful work of continuously creating our community by making your pledge of support.

You can pledge by emailing stewardship@hvuuc.org, mailing in your physical pledge card, or sending a note with your name, phone number, address, email, and annual pledge amount to Stewardship at HVUUC; PO Box 8383; Gray, TN 37615.
