Saturday November 8th 2025 6-9 PM
There will be refreshments, a Silent auction, and a Live auction.
Click here to see a list of all the events that have already been submitted for this year’s auction.
Plan your bids, surrogates available
As items are donated, they will appear in the catalog on the Auctria website. You can review the catalog to consider what you would like to target the evening of the auction.
Additionally, if you know you will be unable to attend, let us know what you would like to bid on and the ranges for bids on each item by emailing auction@hvuuc.org. We are committed to ensuring those still distancing from home can participate.
Any questions can be sent to auction@hvuuc.org.
The second Sunday of the month is our usual potluck lunch, November 9 after the service.
Please bring a dish to share. Someone will be available in the kitchen at 10:30 to accept your dish. We can keep the dish warm, but we cannot cook it.
Here's an idea: When you are preparing your food for the Auction on November 8, double the recipe and bring it to the Sunday lunch!
Also, we always need a few helping hands to clean up after potluck. Thanks!

New Astronomy telescopes completely change our understanding of the Cosmos! Astronomers and Physicists are scrambling to understand the meaning of these new discoveries.
With just two new Telescopes, our knowledge of the universe has changed forever! The night sky is no longer a static tapestry. The Vera Rubin Observatory and James Webb Space Telescope have produced a "time-lapse movie" of the Cosmos!
The quest for life in our Solar System. Is Mars our best hope for discovering evidence of life? What secrets do the Gas and Ice Giant planets hold? Maybe their moons hold the answers!
Exoplanets -- We've discovered over 6,000 planets orbiting other stars in the Milky Way! Some are quite Earth-like! Our 2 new telescopes are giving us exciting new information on these Earth-like worlds!
Urban Lighting -- Rapid growth of bright urban lighting conflicts the night sky and handicaps ground based telescopes. How can we resolve this issue?
Weather permitting, Donnie will set up his telescope after the presentations for views of the night sky.
