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.

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

After service, please join us for a potluck lunch.

Join us at GNUUC on October 18th at 3PM for a concert by Shawn Tairyu Head. Attendance is free and open to the public.

https://www.tairyushakuhachi.com/

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.

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.

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?
