We are a community of women, men and children with diverse spiritual orientations, who come from many different backgrounds. We hope you will join us as we strive to grow in diversity, compassion, and service, creating a church where all people can freely explore their theology and spirituality and be their truest selves.
Welcome to Holston Valley Unitarian Universalist Church, or HVUUC as we often abbreviate our name. As a visitor to the church, you will be welcomed in the church foyer by greeters who will provide you with an order of service. At the visitor table inside the inner doors, you can sign the guestbook, get a name tag, sign up to receive the church e-newsletter, and talk with a volunteer who will be happy to give you information about the church. If you have children, various childcare and religious education options are available. The minister or the service coordinator will be happy to talk with you after the service if you have additional questions.
HVUUC is wheelchair accessible and hearing assisted devices are available.

Service Is Our Prayer: American Universalism
Speaker
Reverend Luck
The Universalist part of this faith tradition has a proud and remarkable history of doing justice work. I plan to share a bit of their commitment as we prepare to watch The Last Mountain after lunch for the 4th Sunday Justice activity. I think this film would be interesting to older elementary, middle school, and high school kids, so I hope you bring your family to the service and stay for the DVD viewing in the sanctuary. Childcare will be available.
