Game nights are the 2nd and 4th Fridays, 6:30 p.m.
We play board games and card games in the spirit of inclusion and fun. We always teach the rules to the games, so you don’t need to know anything in advance. If you are curious about it, just show up ready to have some fun. If you want to bring a game that you love (and can teach to others), please do!
Snacks (not mandatory) and all of board-game-playing age are welcome.
Email gamegroup@hvuuc.org with any questions.
We have tons of old photos we'd like to label and digitize, but the problem is a lot of us don't know who are in the photos, when the photos were taken, and what events were going on in the photos. So we need some help from our church elders!
If you've been a part of the church for 20+ years, your experience is required on May 10th from 10AM-1PM in the Fred Ball Room. You all can look at old photos and reminisce while the Archiving Task Force writes down your observations.
Email history@hvuuc.org with any questions.
2nd Sunday Potluck is right around the corner! May 11 after the service.
Bring a dish to share for our monthly Potluck Luncheon on Sunday, May 11. You may bring your dish to the kitchen between 10:30 and 11:00. We can keep your food warm, but we cannot cook anything from scratch. Looking forward to celebrating together.
Email potlucks@hvuuc.org with any questions.
