“A Year of Memories”

All Souls Day, Samhain, and Dia de Los Muertos all happen around the first of November, and are different culture's ways of remembering those who have passed away but are still very much in our hearts. During this service we specifically remember those who have passed away since last year, both in our HVUUC community, and in the world at large. Please bring photos of departed loved ones for our altar.

Capital Repair Donations

Capital Repair Donations

The Church needs your help! Due to a large expenditure, our Capital Repairs Fund is getting very low. This is the money budgeted for use for big repair projects. Projects like roof repairs, driveway repair, painting and repairing the sanctuary, and fixing the HVAC. Please send donations to the church with “Capital Repairs Fund” in the memo line. Thank you for your support. This is a critical Fund that keeps the church in good repair.
