On Sunday, June 28, GNUUC is holding a special service celebrating Pride — a morning honoring LGBTQIA+ lives and the many shapes love and family take: the families we’re born into and the ones we build by choice.
We’d love for our LGBTQIA+ members and friends to help lead and shape it. There are two ways to take part, and you’re welcome to choose either or both:
1) Read a piece of the service. We’re looking for voices to read parts of the liturgy — the chalice lighting, the meditation, the closing words. Each is short, and we’ll send you the text ahead of time.
2) Join our LGBTQIA+ panel. In place of the sermon, several members will share how this faith helps them move through the world, and how their families — born and chosen — hold them up. You’ll see the questions in advance, can skip anything that doesn’t fit, and share only what you’d like. It’s a warm, friendly room.
Whether you’ve been part of things for years or this would be your first time stepping forward, you are welcome here. If any of this calls to you — or if you’d just like to ask a question first — reach out to Kristin R. at kristin.reveal@gnuuc.orgby Sunday, June 21. You’re welcome to respond privately; nothing is ever shared without your okay.
This month's Share the Plate supports Just Us | Oasis Center, a Nashville program helping LGBTQ+ youth across Middle Tennessee be seen, supported, and celebrated as their authentic selves—a fitting partner for our "Flourishing Together" June. Learn More About Just Us.
It's a fitting partner for our June theme, Flourishing Together, and for our own commitment to being a welcoming congregation—a reminder that when our LGBTQ+ youth thrive, our whole community flourishes.

9:30 AM: Community Sing
Prepare for Sunday Worship with a curated selection of Unitarian Universalist music and video offerings. This pre-service gathering creates space for reflection, inspiration, and connection as we come together from across our communities before worship begins.
10:00 AM: Sunday Service, Live Streaming of General Assembly Sunday Worship
Embrace the electrifying spirit of the year's largest UU gathering, where we come together in unity for an awe-inspiring Sunday worship celebration like no other! It's a vibrant, communal worship experience that promises to uplift your soul and ignite your passion. Don't miss out on this extraordinary gathering of hearts and minds!
We are delighted to share that Rev. Jen Youngsun Ryu will lead Sunday Morning Worship at GA 2026.
The Rev. Jen Youngsun Ryu (she/her) serves the Unitarian Universalist Church in Eugene, arriving in 2021 while the building was still closed and the congregation was finding its way back to one another. Born in Seoul and raised in Ohio, she found Unitarian Universalism as a young adult in Baltimore and was drawn to a faith that honors both the tough mind and the tender heart.
After years of lay leadership, she entered seminary in 2002, then spent nearly a decade in parish ministry with the Williamsburg Unitarian Universalists, alongside service at the district level and on the UUMA Board. Her vocational path later led her into healthcare chaplaincy, where she specialized in oncology care and earned board certification. Working as a staff chaplain in Charleston deepened her pastoral skills and broadened her interest in spiritual care research.
In the wake of the pandemic, Rev. Ryu felt called back to the parish and to the rhythms of a multigenerational community. This year, she celebrates the 20th anniversary of her ordination with a steady conviction that our liberal faith, practiced with honesty and love, changes lives for the good.
We look forward to welcoming Rev. Jen to the GA 2026 Sunday Morning Worship experience.
11:30 AM: Potluck Lunch
After Service, join us for a potluck lunch.

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. This service will not be recorded.

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