HVUUC Grounds & Gardening Vision
Our HVUUC Gardening Group is dreaming into how our outdoor spaces can grow and flourish—and we’d love your input!
What would you like to see planted? How might we use our grounds for connection, reflection, play, and learning? And if you’re feeling called, would you like to be part of bringing these ideas to life?
Take a few minutes to share your thoughts here:

Bridging The Class Divide
With our passion for diversity and economic justice, it makes sense that Unitarian Universalist communities would be the ideal place for building a bridge between people coming from different socio-economic classes. Rev Tiffany asks where are we succeeding and where is there still room to grow?

Flower Communion: Companion Planting our Church
Just as the Native Americans have a long history of planting corn, beans and squash together in a way that benefits all three, our Unitarian Universalist community has planted many different kinds of people together to create a diverse and beautiful garden of humanity. Flower Communion is our annual celebration of that coming together. Please bring a flower and an open heart to this celebration. Members are invited to stay for our Annual Meeting afterwards.

Regaining Our Senses
Our senses are the means by which we experience our world and our life. While our five senses haven’t changed over thousands of generations, our experience in using them in the modern world is unlike any time before us. We are in a time and sensory bubble called modernity. This week Charlie Mattioli explores what we have won and what we have lost and why it matters in our lives and spiritual journey.
WETS Donations for Radio
Do you enjoy listening to NPR and WETS? We can help support them and, in return, get information about HVUUC aired on the radio to let the community know who we are.
Just write your check to HVUUC with WETS noted on the memo line or enclose cash in an envelope marked WETS. Drop these in the offering basket or the donation dropbox on the back wall. Then we will bundle these donations and listen for our church name on the radio!
