Come to Grand Oak Farm, October 23, at 5PM for some Fireside Fall Fun for a Halloween gathering to honor Karyn Cross for her service to our church as Office Administrator.

Bring your own dinner picnic to serve everyone in your Pod which will be socially distanced. Adults and kids are invited to wear costumes! Activities for the evening will be: two Bonfires (one for S'mores which be provided); A pumpkin patch where each pod will pick their pumpkin to decorate (bring all your decorations); A photo booth provided by the RE Youth and Trick or Treat for the kids to go to each Pod and receive some prepackaged goodies provided by you (only if you want to participate) and maybe a Halloween Movie on the Barn.

The COVID color coded ribbons will be used, but there should be plenty of room for us to spread out. The planning team is looking at other fun things to do so stay tuned. To register go to: https://forms.gle/gs2t8k3gBz3BuR857 by October 20, 2021

To donate toward a gift for Karyn Cross send money care of Reverend Tiffany Sapp at HVUUC, PO Box 8383, Gray, TN 36715.

The October 11 Zoom meeting, beginning at 6:00pm, will provide audio comments by Dr. Christena Cleveland, PhD, on the subject, “A Spiritual Pathway to Freedom and Mutuality for a Nation divided separating Race, Minorities, and the Disadvantaged from the majority.” While Dr. Cleveland speaks from a Christian viewpoint and her viewpoint focuses toward the Black/White divide, her wisdom and insight is beneficial to all who listen.

We are re-energizing the Social Justice Committee. Those passionate about this tenant of UU life are welcome.

You can find the October newsletter here!

Rev. Tiffany's approach to her vacation time and professional development will be a little different than ministers that we've had in the past: she will be taking it in bits and pieces throughout the year instead of one big chunk during the summer.

And that first vacation week is almost here! Rev. Tiffany will be unavailable from Monday, October 4th until Sunday, October 10th. For regular needs reach out to the Caring Team at caring@hvuuc.org For pastoral emergencies please contact our President Ann Livengood at president@hvuuc.org.

Please send any submissions for the October newsletter to newsletter@hvuuc.org by Wednesday, September 29th.

There's been some confusion with our reservation system but we still want you to come! Most groups still have openings. Please email musicdirector@hvuuc.org or minister@hvuuc.org to let us know if you haven't already made a reservation and would like to attend!
