Finger Foods Needed for Service Auction

Planning to attend this year’s Service Auction on Nov 7? We’d love for you to bring a finger food to share! After all, bidding wars are much more fun when there are snacks involved. 

Bring your favorite appetizer, nibble, or tasty little something—and come prepared to bid, laugh, and have a great time!

Email fellowship@hvuuc.org with any questions.

Lots of Ways to Volunteer with RE!

✨ Many Gifts, One Community

Religious Exploration is growing—and with that growth comes more opportunities for our whole community to help bring it to life! 💜

Volunteering with RE doesn't have to mean becoming a teacher. There are so many ways to share your time, interests, skills, and gifts:

● Lead a class and help guide exploration and conversation.

● Assist a lead facilitator and be an extra supportive presence.

● Support Wonder Worship and help create meaningful worship experiences for our youngest UUs.

● Help with communications, organization, or behind-the-scenes projects.

● Lend a hand where needed without committing to an ongoing role.

If you've been a friend of HVUUC for 3 months or longer, stop by the Volunteer Sign-Up Board in the church lobby and see where you might like to jump in!

For the safety of our children and youth, background checks are required for volunteers working directly with them and are fully provided by the church.

Our programs don't happen because of one person. They happen because a community of people chooses to show up, share what they have, and create something meaningful together.

You don't have to do everything. Come share your something. 💜✨

Lots of Ways to Volunteer with RE!

“Creativity and Capitalism: Who are We Becoming with AI?”

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.
