Join us for our monthly church potluck immediately following the Sunday service on 14 June 2026. Please bring a dish or dessert to share with the congregation but more importantly, bring yourself. We look forward to great food and fellowship!

All who identify as male are invited to attend the Men's Group Meeting this month. We'll meet in the Fred Ball room to share a meal together, have a quick check-in then discuss plans for the remainder of the year including fundraising options, an annual retreat and special events we could attend.
Feel free to bring a food item for a shared potluck. As always, bringing food is never a requirement. Bring your own beverage if you want something other than water.
Email mensgroup@hvuuc.org with any questions.
Happy Solstice! Known as Litha, the Summer Solstice marks the longest day and shortest night of the year, the moment when the sun is at the height of its life-giving powers.
The earth is bathed in warmth, joy and fulfilment. It’s a vital time of energizing ourselves, when we can feel life at its peak.
Soak up the radiant bliss of Litha by spending time in Nature, appreciating her gifts – from the lush greenery of trees to the wondrous beauty of flowers, abloom with vivid color and intoxicating scent.

Tennessee UU Community Action Network (TUUCAN) in coordination with UU The Vote/Side With Love will be hosting a regional Solidarity Summit in Memphis, September 18-20th. This will be free to attend, and travel/housing will be arranged.
Solidarity Summits are interfaith justice gatherings designed to engage lay leaders, clergy, organizers, movement partners, and community leaders to organize the resources and networks to build and strengthen community-led infrastructure as we face impacts of authoritarian consolidation. Together we will learn and practice skills to respond faithfully in rapid response moments, but also harness our collective power and imaginations to build the very democratic communities and systems we are fighting for.
The Solidarity Summits equip participants with practical tools for action, develop regional care networks, strengthen long-term relationships, and help transform rapid response efforts into durable movement infrastructure rooted in collaboration, imagination, and collective power.
If you are interested in attending or have any questions, please email Alesha at vp@hvuuc.org.
Women's Retreat 2026 is scheduled for September 2026 at nearby Bays Mountain Camp. This will be a casual weekend focused on connection and fun - as much or as little as you need, it is up to you.
The camp requires a minimum of 15 people signed up for the full weekend in order for us to secure the facility. A sign-up sheet will be available on the back counter in the sanctuary. Deadline to sign up is August 21.
Write to womensGroup@hvuuc.org and you'll receive a Q&A email answering questions about the retreat: costs, meals (PROVIDED), facilities, etc.
The retreat is OURS and it becomes what we make it. During the weekend, we will have several available activities as well as ample time to chat and relax. Activities are NOT compulsory and you are encouraged to make this retreat what you want it to be! If you have an idea for an activity or would like to lead one please let us know.
Again, write to WomensGroup@HVUUC.org.
