Volunteers Needed For Church Picnic

Volunteers needed for the annual church picnic on August 22!  If you enjoy sharing ideas or just want to help create a fun day for our church family, I'd love to have you on the planning committee and/or working team.  Those with the sacred knowledge of flipping burgers without burning them would be extremely helpful to have on board.

If you're interested, please email fellowship@hvuuc.org or talk to Debbie after the service.

Thank you!  Debbie Vasut, Fellowship Trustee

Nursery Pick-Up Reminder

Nursery Pick-Up Reminder

A friendly reminder that our wonderful nursery caregivers provide care for our littlest members each Sunday from 9:15 AM–12:15 PM.

As we continue nurturing an intergenerational church community, we invite families to pick up their children promptly following the worship service so they can join the congregation for coffee hour, potlucks, and other opportunities to connect across generations.

If you anticipate needing childcare beyond 12:15 PM on a particular Sunday, please reach out to our Director of Religious Exploration, Jess Ox, at hvuucdre@gmail.com in advance so we can explore available options together.

Thank you for helping us create a caring and connected community for all ages!

Back Numbers are Useful for Lighting Fires

HVUUC member, Wanda E., explores ideas of worth and dignity as we age. Retirement doesn't mean uselessness. It enables us to find new ways to offer our many life's experiences and dispel the negative nomenclature of aging.

MUSIC LOVERS: James Shawcross and Sierra Stratton-Ramsay will be preforming a flute sonata for our special music this Sunday.

Reflections on Gratitude and Grief

Reflections on Gratitude and Grief

Join us on December 5th at 3pm to reflect not just on Gratitude, but also how Gratitude interweaves with Grief at a very special gathering across all faith communities. United Religions Initiative - Northeast Tennessee Cooperation Circle has traditionally hosted an in-person community Gratitude Dinner. This will be the second year in a row that URI NE-TN will be holding our “Gratitude Dinner” on Zoom due to concerns around Covid-19 transmission.

You can find further details and the zoom link at the event page here: https://hvuuc.org/events/2021/12/5/reflections-on-gratitude-and-grief
