Minister’s Note

 Aug 7, 2024

“Expect nothing. Live frugally on surprise.” –Alice Walker
“Sanctuary is where we dream in safety.” – Leela Sinha

Dear Ones–

How has your summer been? I am “back” from time away from work, and although I travelled only a small bit (and that unexpectedly), it has been good to have time just for myself and family. Now I’m ready to see what this church year brings us and excited to live into our responses to each other and the world around us. How rich in surprise can we be? What dreams can we grow in the shelter of each other? 

Let’s find out!

Yours, in expectation and hope,
Rev. Denise

THIS WEEKEND AT GREATER NASHVILLE UU

Featured
Sun., Aug. 17, 12:00 PM: Shared Ministries Meeting, Immediately After Service

Join us immediately after the service on August 17, 2025, for a Shared Ministries meeting.

Learn about events on the Fall Calendar! Volunteer to help at Events! Bring your Ideas about Events you would like to Sponsor!

Sun., Aug. 24, 11 AM: Sunday Summer Song Service, Speaker: Dan Looney & Sandy Blanz, "A Walk Through Still Spring Park" (Hybrid)

Have you visited our Still Spring Park lately? Sandy and Dan have! This Sunday, they will share photos and videos of the our garden and trails.

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, as well as on Zoom. See How to Join a Virtual Service at GNUUC.

After the service, join us for a potluck lunch.

During the summer months, children can play in the wiggle room during the service. It is connected to the Sanctuary. Some Sundays we may have activities outdoors in the playground or in the Religious Education Building, depending on staff present. To check in on childcare availability, contact kristin.reveal@gnuuc.org.
