✨ Many Gifts, One Community
Religious Exploration is growing—and with that growth comes more opportunities for our whole community to help bring it to life! 💜
Volunteering with RE doesn't have to mean becoming a teacher. There are so many ways to share your time, interests, skills, and gifts:
● Lead a class and help guide exploration and conversation.
● Assist a lead facilitator and be an extra supportive presence.
● Support Wonder Worship and help create meaningful worship experiences for our youngest UUs.
● Help with communications, organization, or behind-the-scenes projects.
● Lend a hand where needed without committing to an ongoing role.
If you've been a friend of HVUUC for 3 months or longer, stop by the Volunteer Sign-Up Board in the church lobby and see where you might like to jump in!
For the safety of our children and youth, background checks are required for volunteers working directly with them and are fully provided by the church.
Our programs don't happen because of one person. They happen because a community of people chooses to show up, share what they have, and create something meaningful together.
You don't have to do everything. Come share your something. 💜✨

So much has changed, both with technology and humanity, since Rev. Tiffany last explored topics around Artificial Intelligence. So she revisits this topic, this time with an eye toward who we humans are becoming as usage of AI becomes more pervasive in our society.

Damage to the kitchen ceiling from the broken water pipe.
During the recent cold weather we had frozen pipes at the church. A pipe in the kitchen ceiling broke and has caused damaged to the kitchen, Fred Ball Room, and hallway. Our insurance company has been contacted and the process for repairing the damage has started. We will let everyone know once more information is available.
The Church of the Larger Fellowship, a Unitarian Universalist online community, is inviting Unitarian Universalists everywhere to join them for a special Christmas Day online worship service.

Dear Holston Valley Unitarian Universalist Church members and friends. This Sunday we announced that Sarah White, who has been our Director of Religious Education for the last seven years, will be stepping down from the position effective January 15th to pursue an opportunity with ETSU.
As we are searching for our next long-term Director of Religious Education, we want to find an interim to keep our program going. This would be a paid position, 15 hours a week or less with flexible hours, and would last as long as it takes to find our next long-term Director of Religious Education. You will get training and support from our outgoing DRE, and our minister. Members and friends of HVUUC are encouraged to apply for this INTERIM position, with the understanding that the long-term position will be sought from outside the congregation.
Contact Rev. Tiffany at minister@hvuuc.org to send your resume and indicate interest.
