The Stewardship Committee needs volunteers to help plan and execute the Stewardship Campaign for the spring. This is an opportunity to facilitate a critical process for the church. The tasks primarily involve communications to promote congregant involvement, such as distributing pledge cards, follow up by phone/email, and contributing to announcement design.

The peak activity is January through March, with most time spent in preparation and follow up. For more information and to volunteer, please contact Charlie at stewardship@hvuuc.org

Sarah W and Cindi H will offer a UFO Pop Up in January as a demo! Come join us with your Unfinished Objects, and we can share our space as we work on those pesky crafts or tedious tasks that have been sitting around waiting to be finished. We can connect and chat and maybe even help each other, making it fun to finish together.

You can find all the details on the event page by clicking here.

There is so much happening this Martin Luther King Weekend! We hope you can make this more a "day on" than a "day off," where we honor the spirit of Rev. Dr. King's work by continuing it!

Holston Valley Unitarian Universalist Church will be officially participating in three events. Look for our HVUUC banner and walk with us! Feel free to join us for one, two or all three events, and if you’d like you can bring posters of support for peace and justice.

Sarah W. and Cindi H. will be offering a FREE Trauma Informed Care for Faith Communities next week on January 17th via zoom. This training will be particularly beneficial to those in leadership positions, but we encourage all interested in planting a seed for a more trauma informed culture to attend!
