Dear Members and Friends,

We are grateful to share that we have raised $68,360 so far in our annual pledge campaign. To fund our programs and commitments, we still need at least $11,640.

If you have not yet submitted your pledge card, we invite you to do so as soon as possible. Even if you are giving to sustaining pledge, we like to know that you plan to continue. Your continuing pledge has not been included in this year’s total.

Please visit nashvilleuu.org/pledge to make your pledge today. Your generous support sustains our shared ministry and strengthens our beloved community. (If the form is complicated, you are welcome to email Kristin at kristin.reveal@gnuuc.org or call her directly. Email for phone number.)

With gratitude,
Jesse S-S, Pledge Drive Coordinator
Kristin R, Finance Chair

As we face the growing threat of autocracy in our country, it's more crucial than ever to build a stronger, more united movement for democracy.

That is why Greater Nashville UU Congregation will be hosting in-person gatherings to participate in the Rise for Freedom Training Series every Thursday for the next few weeks. We are inviting friends like you to come together and learn how to organize and mobilize diverse, nonpartisan communities to demand democracy.

Please come to any or all of the scheduled meetings. Each session is designed to stand alone and​ will include music, calls to action, digital hygiene/safety tips, and a core online training module, with in-person breakouts for hands-on learning, planning, and community building.

This year’s banquet will again take place at the Boone Center at Trevecca Nazarene University, from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm. Charlane Oliver, District 19 Senator in the Tennessee legislature, will be our keynote speaker. Tickets may be purchased here. GNUUC folks can share a table. For information about NOAH and some of its recent accomplishments, opportunities to purchase ads in the banquet program, as well as different levels of sponsorship, click here. An ad can be a great way to promote your business, honor someone, or simply say thanks or congratulations to NOAH. Ads will be projected during the banquet in addition to appearing in the program. Deadline for ad submissions is May 15. 

Nominating Committee

The Nominating Committee currently includes Nathanael R (past-president), Caren S-S, Ryan D, Gina A, and Elizabeth M. The committee faces a challenge finding a President from among the congregation, and board members are encouraged to consider suggestions.

Annual Meeting

The Annual Meeting is scheduled for Sunday, May 18th. The board voted to move their regular meeting from May 21st to Wednesday, May 14th to prepare for the Annual Meeting.

Budget Draft

Draft budget was discussed, but will be finalized after all pledges forms are returned. 

The meeting concluded with appreciation for the successful auction fundraiser, which exceeded expectations.

Help get the word out to our Bellevue neighbors by participating at our GNUUC booth.  A signup sheet is on the bulletin board in the fellowship Hall.  Help with setup is especially needed on Saturday morning before 10:00 AM.  We will also need at least two people during each time slot. Please see Bonnie G. for more information.
