The Problem of Evil

What do we do with the word "evil." Many of us, who may have been called evil ourselves because of who we love or what we do or don't believe, probably want to shy away from the word altogether or claim that evil isn't real. But life in 2026 might be inviting us to name what evil actually is, and to consider what we might do about it. Rev. Tiffany offers her reflections on one of the big questions of life.

This Sunday!

We will be holding an interest meeting about providing alternative programming for kids in Kindergarten through 5th grade (or equivalent ages) during the second half of the Sunday Service.

Parents of kids K-5, people interested in volunteering to work with this age range, and any who are curious about a potential trajectory we might take to support our young families are welcome to attend.

Childcare will be provided.
You might want to bring yourself a bag lunch or light snack.

Meeting will be in the Sanctuary from 12:30 to 2:00pm on Sunday, June 7th.

If you can't attend the meeting and have thoughts, ESPECIALLY if you are a Parent or an RE Volunteer, please send your feedback to [email protected].

On May 31, Justin Hall, President of TriPride, will be speaking to the congregation about TriPride, the organization's significant work in our communities and inviting the HVUUC community to again participate in this Fall's activities and to financially support the TriPride mission.

We will be collecting our traditional Fifth Sunday collection for TriPride, which will hopefully fund a “sponsorship level” status with TriPride’s Fall Parade and Festival. Your donations are greatly welcomed. An envelope will be provided in the Order of Service for this purpose.

If you cannot contribute at church on that date and want to donate electronically, to go to HVUUC’s website at https://hvuuc.org/donate to donate via PayPal and designate special instructions that it’s for 5th Sunday. People may donate one week prior and one week after May 31. There is a 3% fee to the church for PayPal, so please increase your donation by 3%.

The Enigma of Domestic Violence: Moving Beyond the Caricature of the Battered Woman

The images we typically associate with women experiencing domestic violence focuses on bloody and violent acts. What if we could change that narrative to become reflective of what the day to day life of a woman experiencing domestic abuse actually entails? Using a mix of empirical data, and personal experience our guest speaker Sophia aims to demystify the discourse around domestic abuse, and encourage ongoing dialogue around supporting survivors.

TW: Domestic Violence, Gun violence, Reproductive Coercion

Wonder Worship activity will be available for youth ages kindergarten and up, during this service. It will start just after the chalice lighting.
