Our Youth Group is gathering on Sunday, January 18, from 4:00–6:00 pm for an evening of connection, laughter, and community magic!
During this gathering the youth will take a little time to review final details for their Potato Bowl Fundraiser happening the following Sunday, then settle into what Youth Group does best — hanging out, socializing, and having fun together. Games will be available, and youth are also welcome to bring along their favorite games to share.
Come as you are, bring your curiosity (and maybe a game or two!), and enjoy a relaxed evening with friends.
If you have any questions or would like to learn more, please reach out to our Director of Religious Education, Jess Ox, at dre@hvuuc.org

How Do You Potato?
Our 6–12 Religious Education class is cooking up something delicious! They’ll be hosting a baked potato bowl fundraiser with a self-serve toppings bar for the Risk Discernment Workshop on January 25th — and they need your help to make it extra tasty.
Before we shop and prep, we want to know: How do YOU potato?
Do you load it up with all the toppings? Keep it classic? Go bold? Go simple?
Please take a moment to fill out our quick, fun survey so we know which toppings to stock more of (and which ones we can keep light). Your input helps our young fundraisers plan wisely and reduces food waste — a win-win!
Thank you for supporting our youth through their deliciously thoughtful fundraiser!
Make your wishes known as the congregation discerns which risks we want to take together as a community to transform ourselves, our community and our world!
On Sunday January 25th after church, Rev. Tiffany and team of our church leaders will be facilitating a Risk Discernment workshop sponsored by the Unitarian Universalist's social justice organization Side with Love.
This workshop is designed specifically for us to gauge the risk tolerances of congregation members so that we can make better decisions about what is worth doing and what is too risky for our congregation when it comes to social justice matters. But we can't do that unless you come and let us know where you're at. We hope this workshop will be very well attended to help us get a clear sample of congregational values, hopes, and boundaries.
The youth group will be providing lunch as a fundraiser right after church, and the workshop itself will go from 1-3pm.
Please use the sign up sheet on the back table of the sanctuary, or email risk@hvuuc.org to let us know you're coming (and to help the youth prepare enough food).
Gather to eat a good meal and chat with friends, old and new.
$8.00 per person
$15 for two
$5.00 for kids under 12
Supper begins at 6pm. Sign up by Sunday, 25th at noon-on line or by emailing WNS@Hvuuc.org.
A casual evening meal is served buffet style. Vegetarian options are always available.
Payment in cash please, in the basket as you enter the Fellowship hall.
Be sure to sign up by Sunday at noon!! We cant' shop for you if you don't let us know you are coming!!
Spring 2026, Path to Membership is coming soon!
Our next class will be held following potluck lunch on February 8th, 1:15-4:15.
Content will include Unitarian Universalism and our Covenant, an introduction to how our church is governed, and ways to get involved in the community. We will also have an opportunity to share spiritual journeys and we will hear from leaders of a few of our committees. Attendance does not commit you to membership but is a necessary precursor for joining.
For questions or to reserve your seat, contact Lori or email PTM@hvuuc.org.
We look forward to seeing you there!
