Greater Nashville UU is starting a Legacy Project to document our history.
If you have photos, newsletters, videos, or other media that is part of our history, bring it to Greater Nashville UU between now and December 20th.
Susan T and Kristin R are leading this project and will be organizing the materials. If you have digital media, talk to Kristin R. to get an upload link. Caren S-S will also be recording stories from our past.
Long term we will create a library of materials for congregants to learn from.
This is an ongoing project that will take several months to put together, and will make a lasting impact on recording the legacy of our congregation.
If you are interested in helping with this project, reach out to Susan T or Kristin R.

Join us on Saturday, November 7 at 4:30 PM for Movie Night with pizza and popcorn!
We’ll be watching Wicked For Good, the continuation of the Wicked series. It is rated PG.
Adults - you will enjoy this movie! 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?
