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!
Join us for church on July 12, 2026.
9:30 am Religious Education
11:00am Service

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.
I'm inviting anyone who is interested to join the Wonder Worship Task Force!

Let's all make this successful!!! THANKS MUCH!!!
A big thank you Doug, our Facilities Trustee, for getting a concrete pad poured in the upper parking lot for the Religious Education Zone building.
In an effort to make our Religious Education building fully inclusive we assessed the accessibility of the building and determined that while our doors were wide enough, the transition from gravel lot to sidewalk was too difficult for our members and friends with mobility limitations.
Both Adult Religious Education classes are being held on the first floor as well. Religious Education classes for all ages run from 9:30am until 10:45am every Sunday morning.
"In the six months since HVUUC implemented our COVID-19 Plan, much has changed—with vaccines, science, and the virus itself. Accordingly, the Board has approved an updated plan. Please read it on our website so you can evaluate the mitigation factors in place and make informed decisions about how and when you feel comfortable to participate in person.

If you aren't aware that the TriPride Festival and Parade IS BACK....what have you been doing?? It will be held this year on August 27th for the first time in Bristol.
So, what does all of this mean for HVUUC? It means we need a group of volunteers to march in the parade, spend time at the HVUUC booth, and generally just have a great time!

Someone out there is posing as me in email, reaching out specifically to email addresses that are _____________@hvuuc.org.
I will never send vague and covert emails asking you all for money or gift cards, I promise!
You also will be able to tell it’s not me because it does not come from my email address.
Please spread the word!
Thanks! Rev. Tiffany
With our Risk Assessment Level currently at medium or high, every speaker and singer we have unmasked on Sunday morning takes a Covid test that morning before the service.
With our commitment to economic justice, we do not wish our service leaders, speakers, singers and staff to have to pay for this expense out of their own pockets. How sad would it be if someone couldn't contribute to our programming because of that expense! But the expense of the church providing these tests does add up when a higher risk level surge lasts a long time.
Here's how you can help!
You can get free rapid tests through the Postal Service by filling out an online form. You are able to order this up to three times.
IF you do not need these free tests for your own non-church use, and you are willing to fill out this form to get free tests and donate them to the church, we would greatly appreciate it!
Here's the link with the form, and thank you!
