Becoming is built around a particular framing of the spiritual life, inspired by the work being done at the Sacred Design Lab. This frame views the spiritual life as made up of three dimensions and accompanying questions:
Belonging – To whom or what do I belong?
Becoming – Who am I becoming?
Beyond – What is beyond me?

Live Auction: 1:30 PM
Location: 374 Hicks Road, Nashville, TN 37221
About the Auction
Our Annual Auction is our largest fundraiser of the year. This year our fundraising goal is $5,200!
At GNUUC, the Auction is more than just a fundraiser. We decorate, have delicious food, and have a great time!
This year, the Auction has moved to a Sunday afternoon - stay after service and join us for an Italian Lunch & Live Auction!
Changes this Year
This year, we are having a Live Auction, plus fun Intermission events/items being sold at a set price. We are dropping the Silent Auction.
For Live Auction items we need donors to volunteer hosted meals, sporting event tickets, music tickets, art gallery tickets, expensive digital devices, fine art or high-quality artisan items, and more! A good indicator if an event or item is a good match for the Live Auction is if it can generate at least $75.
For the Intermission Items, we need events with a set price that multiple people (at least 8-10+) can attend. The set price is usually $10 - $20. Think Hosting a Movie & Popcorn Night at GNUUC, Hosting a Local Tour, Hosting a Congregation Birthday Party, etc.
For the artists out there, if you can create multiple items (at least 8-10+), all at a single set price of $10 - $20, they are a good fit as intermission items. They do not need to be unique but do need to be the same genre. (Think Sandy’s birds from last year.)
Remember - no silent auction items this year!
Do you have a favorite Italian food to share? Sign up to donate an appetizer, entree, salad, side, dessert, or beverage for eight people! We look forward to sharing.
To donate items/events/food, use the Auction Donor Form.
