Sun., Nov. 1, 11 AM: Multi-Generational Sunday Service, Introduction to Woven Faith Theme: "Covenant”

Theme: Join us as we introduce the November Woven Faith theme of “Covenant.” An interactive, multi-generational service. All ages are welcome!

Covenant is more than an agreement we make together on how we will relate to one another. It starts with the values we want to live by—and the ways we call ourselves back to those values when relationships get hard.

Connie Goodbread reminds us that covenant begins within us before it can shape the space between us. When we practice compassion, curiosity, humility, and trust, we help create relationships and communities where people can grow, repair, and stay connected.

What values do you want to bring into the spaces you share with others?

Read more from Connie Goodbread.

This hybrid service will be in the Sanctuary at Greater Nashville UU Congregation, as well as on Zoom. See How to Join a Virtual Service at GNUUC.

After the service, join us for a potluck lunch.

Sat. Nov. 7, 4:30 PM - 8:30 PM: GNUUC Movie Night with Pizza and Popcorn (Fellowship Hall)

Join us on Saturday, November 7 at 4:30 PM for Movie Night with pizza and popcorn!

Cost: This is an Auction Fundraiser Event. If you purchased tickets at the Auction, you are set. Otherwise, we encourage a suggested donation of $10 (optional).

We’ll be watching Wicked For Good, the continuation of the Wicked series. It is rated PG.

Adults - you will enjoy this movie too! Please come! Wicked reframes a familiar fantasy based on The Wizard of OZ, through complex moral, political, and social questions. It challenges the ideas of good and evil, showing how systems of power define morality to maintain control. The main character, Elphaba refuses to conform when she sees injustice, choosing truth over reputation. Wicked also explores how propaganda, fear, and bureaucracy sustain power. The Wizard’s regime depends on controlling narratives and silencing dissent. In short, Wicked asks profoundly adult questions: What does it cost to stay true to your values? How do we tell truth from illusion when authority shapes the story?

With an active performing and recording schedule, and a growing studio of students, Shawn Tairyu Head has dedicated himself to bringing the shakuhachi to new audiences around the world. While he embraces the traditional melodies of the ancient repertoire known as honkyoku, his classical conservatory training and Western spiritual perspective make him equally at home composing and commissioning new works that explore the unique sonic possibilities of the shakuhachi. As a performer, composer, and teacher, his goal is nothing less than a shakuhachi revival.

Sat., Sept. 26, 2-4 PM: The Installation of Rev. Denise Gyauch

You are Invited to the Installation of

Reverend Denise Gyauch

as the settled minister of

Greater Nashville Unitarian Universalist Congregation.

Saturday, September 26, 2 PM.

Reception to Follow.

An installation is the congregational act of formally entering into shared ministry with their professional minister. Offering and accepting a call to parish ministry is a life-changing event that gives us the opportunity to embody our Unitarian Universalist history and theology in a meaningful way. 

Rev. Denise Gyauch joined Greater Nashville Unitarian Universalist Congregation as a contracted minister in the Fall of 2021 as we started to meet again in person after the pandemic. During these years together, our congregation has grown and become more grounded. Earlier this year, our congregation held a vote to call Rev. Denise as our settled minister.  

We invite everyone to join us as we celebrate this important milestone for GNUUC, our third permanently called minister in our 34-year history.

1 Person to Bring Flower/Centerpieces for the buffet table

2 Offering Volunteers — ideally people already trained in collecting, logging, and depositing the offering

2 People to Organize the Fellowship Hall on Sunday, September 20, and set out tablecloths. Note: several people in the congregation will be at the TN Solidarity Summit in Memphis that Sunday. If you'll be here, we would appreciate your help!

2–3 Buffet Support — help Susan plan the buffet, put out and refresh buffet items, and clean up the kitchen

3–4 Cleanup — return the Fellowship Hall and Sanctuary to their normal Sunday morning state

If you are able to help us put together this special Installation celebration service and reception, please come to the meeting. If there is a specific role you would like, you can reach out to one of us on the planning team: Rev. Denise, Kristin R., or Jesse S-S.

Sun., Aug. 9, 2026, 11 AM: Sunday Summer Song Service, Speaker: Charles Pettigrew, “How Well do You Know Yourself” (Hybrid)

In July and August, we host a Summer Song series of Worship services lay-led by members of our congregation. Summer Song services are a great way to learn more about a topic of interest from a member of our community.

This hybrid service will be in the Sanctuary at Greater Nashville UU Congregation and on Zoom. See How to Join a Virtual Service at GNUUC.

Children’s Programming

Children and youth will be dismissed to programming after the Time for All Sages.

During the summer months, we shift into a more relaxed summer rhythm. Each Sunday will bring something a little different — wiggle-room play, time on the playground, arts and crafts, or games — shaped week to week by the volunteers who share their time and creativity. On Sundays when our volunteers are away, the Wiggle Room will be open with parent supervision, so families always have a welcoming space.

Curious about Children's RE or the schedule for a specific summer Sunday? Contact Kristin R. at kristin.reveal@gnuuc.org.

Join Us for Potluck Lunch

After the service, join us for a potluck lunch.

Sun., July 19, 2026, 11 AM: Sunday Summer Song Service, Speaker: Mike Morgan, “Sharing our Stories” (Hybrid)

This homily was inspired by a Pickles cartoon by Brian Crane in which a grandfather tells his small grandson, “There’s an African Proverb that says 'When an old person dies, it’s as if a library burns down.’ That’s why I try to pass on to you some of the wisdom I’ve gained over the years.” All of us have stories to tell and this homily is an encouragement to share your stories.
