Rev. Tiffany will be out of the office from Monday 7/11 through Monday 7/18.

Our office administrator will be available next week but will be working from home. If you have an emergency you can contact the caring team at caring@hvuuc.org.

Beloved friends and members, it's been quite a year! By the time this note goes out I will have been the minister here for 11 months. With ongoing pandemic concerns, and all the work around reopening, and the urgent-feeling need for a more just world, it has been a whirlwind!

Understanding that things will never completely "settle down" (and that I'd be bored in a job that did), I'm recognizing the need to visit more of you all at your homes or parks or on the back porch of the church. Especially for those of you all who have been unable to join us in person.

If you would like me to swing by and see you, could you let me know by emailing minister@hvuuc.org, or calling the office during office hours to set up a time?

I'm so grateful to be a part of this community, and a part of the living tradition that is Unitarian Universalism. And I'm so grateful for each of you. As we begin to move into year 2, please let me know if you'd like a visit.

With joy and thanks,

Rev. Tiffany

Beware of email scams! Rev. Tiffany’s email is tiffanysappuu@gmail.com or minister@hvuuc.org. If you receive an email from any other address claiming to be Rev. Tiffany this is an impersonator!

A lost item of value was found in the REZ. If you’ve been in the REZ recently and are missing something please email office@hvuuc.org.

Did you know that we have people in our community who have fragrance sensitivities that make it very difficult for them to be in spaces where there are perfumes and other scents?

For that reason we have designated the side of the sanctuary closest to the Fred Ball Room as a "Scent-Free Zone" If you wear perfumes or scented lotions please sit on the other side of the sanctuary. There are signs marking the "Scent-Free Zone."

Sometimes our paid childcare staff have to cancel on us last minute due to life or sickness, and we're looking for a few volunteers to be on a "backup" list. If we have a cancellation we will call down the list to see who is available. Because these things happen last minute, we'd love a long list so we have a variety of people to contact.

If you can help us in this way, please email childcare@hvuuc.org for a background check and to get on the list.

Facilities and Religious Education are making some changes in the REZ building!

Adult RE 2 will be meeting in the bottom level of the REZ this fall. As a result we need to get rid of the furniture in the first room on the right. If you want it, come and get it! If you would like to pick it up and donate it, come and get it!

Doug and Sarah need it removed ASAP, so if you’re interested in the furniture, please make arrangements.
Any questions, contact facilities@hvuuc.org or dre@hvuuc.org

Please email all submissions for the July Newsletter by Wednesday, June 29th to newsletter@hvuuc.org.

We are looking for a few good women to host our monthly Women's Nights gathering.

So what does hosting involve? Maybe cleaning up a bit, putting out some set ups/drinks and then our great group of women will bring the party to you.

We need hosts for the rest of this year (except October) starting July 1. If you haven't experienced Women's night and you identify as female, come join us, first Friday night of each month.

Email womensgroup@hvuuc.org for more info.

There are many helpful resources found on our website hvuuc.org.

This congregation has really showed up and showed off with volunteering to be RE teachers this year! I have been overwhelmed with gratitude. We only need 6-8 more people to fully staff all classes and give us a substitute or two.

The RE Collaborative likes to have 8 teachers for each class so that the rotation is full enough to provide plenty of Sundays every month for teachers to meet their own spiritual needs by attending Adult RE.

We will be hosting a teacher training after the service on August 14th, and its going to be a fun time. Please reach out to me at DRE@hvuuc.org if you would like to help guide the future leaders of Unitarian Universalists!

Rev. Tiffany will be out of the office from Sunday 6/19 until Monday 6/27? Our office administrator can be reached during her normal office hours that week on 6/21 and 6/23 but she'll be working from home.

Let's Chat Covenant Group is a discussion group with no specific topic but is wide ranging discussion group where we explore how we, as people in this ever confusing world choose to be in harmony with other people for a time together.

When

We meet 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of the month, from 6:30 to 8:30. We are now meeting in the Susan B Anthony room in the REZ (Religious Education Zone) which is the building to the left of the main church building. Come check us out.
