Minister Out of Office 7/11-7/18
Note from the Minister
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

Lost Item of Value in REZ
Scent-Free Zone
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."
Backup Childcare Volunteers Needed
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.

Furniture Giveaway
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

Beyond the Tree of Good and Evil Sunday Service
Women's Night Hostesses Needed
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.

RE Teachers
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!
