“Hurricane Helene Remembrance”

In late September of 2024, Hurricane Helene changed the landscape of East Tennessee and Western North Carolina forever. A year later, we gather to contemplate our interconnectedness with the land, the weather, each other, and our wider community of East Tennesseans in a service that will make space for grief and gratitude. Rev. Tiffany will facilitate our experience.

TUUCAN Fall Flock

The Tennessee Unitarian Universalist Community Action Network (TUUCAN) invites all Tennessee UUs to Nashville for the Fall Flock on Saturday, October 18th, at First UU Church of Nashville (FUUN) from 9 am to 4 pm (Central Time)

We will share food, fellowship, and support each other during these difficult times in our cities, state, and country. We will learn how UU State Action Networks across the United States turn UU values into positive action. We will nurture deeper relationships, strengthen our social justice ecosystem, and create plans for a world with love at the center.

We hope to represent - in person or via Zoom - each of our 14 UU communities in Tennessee and beyond. Register at https://bit.ly/tuucan25 or email sjchair@hvuuc.org for questions or assistance.

If attending via zoom, keep in mind that the event will be 10:00-5:00 Eastern Standard Time

Soap Box Sunday Service

Soap Box Sunday Service

"Soapbox Sunday" has become a tradition in many congregations. In this special service, members and friends exercise their right to free speech and "get up on their soapbox" to tell us something about which they are concerned or passionate. Topics can span a broad spectrum, as some past examples show: Palm Oil - Unintentional Harm to the Environment; The Limits of Love and Peace; Infringement of church-state separation; etc.
