"Peace be with you" is a traditional greeting in Hebrew, Christian, and Islamic traditions. But this "peace" is not just the absence of conflict. It means "completeness," "wholeness," and having what you need. Many Nashvillians are desperate for peace, for wholeness, in the COVID-19 economic crisis – especially those facing eviction.

GNUUC has a long-standing tradition of community outreach, in our annual fundraising to support the work of Nashville CARES.
