All who identify as female are welcome to join the women’s group the first Friday of each month.

For the July meeting we will be meeting at the church to help make wands for summer camp! If you have any items that might benefit the camp (brooms, wands, cloaks, etc.) bring those as well.

Bring a glue gun if you have one and the usual beverage and/or snack to share.

Contact womensgroup@hvuuc.org or the newsletter for event info.  

Join us after church at Laurel Run in Church Hill on June 30th at 2PM. There's an easy hike to a waterfall that involves a small creek crossing, so be prepared to get your feet wet. If the creek is too high, there is also a playground and a large field with a walking track around it. See you there!

This is a social group for parents, grandparents or guardians who attend or are friends of Holston Valley Unitarian Universalist Church and have children and grandchildren from birth through school age. The goal of our group is to create a supportive community for ourselves and our children and grandchildren within our faith community. For more information please e-mail families@hvuuc.org or find us on Facebook under HVUUC Families Group.

WNS is our monthly fellowship dinner. It is held on the 4th Wednesday of the month at 6:30pm in the Fellowship Hall. The menu is different every month and is cooked by the WNS team. Cost is $5.00 for adults, $2.50 for children. An RSVP is required by the Monday before the dinner to WNS@hvuuc.org.

On June 15 members of the Social Justice Committee will be working on the nature trail at the church. You're invited to come work along side us as we hold up our commitment to our theme for this fiscal year, Environment.

Refreshments and water/drinks will be available. If you have weedeaters, chainsaws or other useful power tools, please bring them. We'll start at 9am and quit when it gets too hot or when we get worn out.  :) 

This event is weather permitting. If it rains hard, or severe weather is imminent, the work will be rescheduled.

The MACHO Group (Men Achieving Community Helping Others) is meeting for dinner, discussion and yard games.  It's been awhile since we met and it's time to build new energy for fellowship and volunteer opportunities.  

For men newer to the church, this is an informal group and meeting and a good opportunity to get to know each other better.

Hamburgers and hot dogs provided, bring a side item and drink.

George lives in Johnson City.  Check your directory for address or email MACHO@hvuuc.org

Religious Education appreciation will be held May 24th from 6:00-8:00PM. To all of our OWL facilitators, Youth Group facilitators, RE Teachers and their families, please save the date and let us provide dinner for you on that evening! RSVP by Sunday, May 19 to DRE@hvuuc.org

Bring a dish to share and join us after the Sunday service for our monthly potluck lunch in the Fellowship Hall.

Hosted by RISE: Healthy for Life

Learn how to do acrylic pours on April 12 and support responsible, inclusive sexuality education at the same time!

Your results will be organic, colorful, abstract, and reminiscent of some of the most striking elements in nature. Best of all, it's easy and fun and you cant really mess it up! This is fun ... and sloppy! Please wear clothes you don't mind getting paint on. Or an apron. Or both!

Snacks and drinks (including wine, seltzer, and juice) provided.

There are a few breaks needed in the pour process, so staff from RISE: Healthy for Life will be on hand to lead icebreakers and some games from the various levels of the Our Whole Lives comprehensive sexuality education curriculum, which covers kindergarten through older adult.

Remember to get your ticket at the link below. You don't have a reservation until you do--we have to buy supplies, food, and drinks, so please help us plan ahead! (And you know you want to come!!!)
