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.

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?

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.

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.

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.
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.
