Auction Hors D'oeuvres Needed

Please bring heavy hors d-oeuvres, finger foods, or a snack to share. Someone will be available in the kitchen beginning at 5:00 to help do whatever you need to prepare and present your contribution.

It's always fun to have a plateful of tasty treats while browsing the silent auction offerings and vying for special live auction items.

PS: Potluck Sunday happens to be the next day, November 9.  Maybe prepare for two events at one time!

Email auction@hvuuc.org with any questions.

“Gone But Not Forgotten”

This time of year many religious traditions take time to honor their dearly departed, and the Remembering service here in our church has become an annual tradition. During this service Rev. Tiffany names and honors the people connected to this congregation that have died this year, as well as important figures in the world. And then we share a ritual of remembering together. You are invited to bring photos or mementos of your departed friends and loved ones to place on the altar during this service.
