How To Submit Items for Newsletter

How To Submit Items for Newsletter

There's been a little confusion about submitting info for the newsletter.

News and Events Forms

The forms on our website called "news" and "events" are for submitting items to be published under the “Congregational News” and “Featured Events” sections of our website hvuuc.org. These forms are not for submitting information to our monthly newsletter.

However, if you'd like the info submitted on these forms to also be included in our newsletter be sure to say so in the "note to office" section of the form. Otherwise it will only be published to the website.

Submitting for Newsletter

To share information for the monthly newsletter, email our office administrator Jessica at newsletter@hvuuc.org .

We hope this clarification helps! If you have further questions email office@hvuuc.org.

To act with caution and allow Covid infection rates to recede (we hope), the start of the Men’s Gathering Covenant Group will be delayed a couple weeks.

Our first meeting will be Tuesday, February 15, 6:30-8:30pm in the sanctuary. We will gather in person, and adhere to the relevant church guidelines. Subsequent Tuesday meetings will be March 1 & 15, April 5 & 19 and May 3.

People committed to participating in the group will hear from us before the 1st meeting when we’ll email a prompt, a quotation, or a question for your consideration.

New Covenant Group for Men

New Covenant Group for Men

George Cross and Tom Burns are starting a Covenant Group for men beginning Feb. 1 and meeting for 6 sessions, scheduled the 1st & 3rd Tuesdays in February, March, and April.

Our general theme is social justice, but our process will focus on personal experiences, our own complicity in various problems, but also our evolution in awareness and change--including resistance to change--around social justice issues.

REMINDER! Stewardship Committee Volunteers Needed

REMINDER! Stewardship Committee Volunteers Needed

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
