The whole process takes 3-4 minutes tops, does our congregation a world of good, and in turn benefits our entire Hendersonville community.

• We create inclusive spaces where people with different beliefs can worship together
• We value democracy, compassion, and community service
• We support social justice and human rights
• We welcome LGBTQ+ people and families
• We encourage open-minded questioning and lifelong learning
• We promote interfaith understanding

Join us for a trip to St. Paul's , a local congregation on 6th that is part of a historic denomination known for its legacy in civil rights and abolition.

This congregation, like ours, is committed to faith, community, and social justice, values we share as Unitarian Universalists.

This trip is a chance to say thank you and farewell to Rev. Terry Young who has been an active member of the Hendersonville community and our local NAACP.

Looking for a way to support UUFH while enjoying a great night of theater? Go see Godspell!

Here’s how it works:

• Buy a ticket to Godspell
• Save your ticket receipt
• Turn your receipt in to Steve Tipps on May 17 or May 24

For every receipt turned in, $5 will be donated to UUFH!

Godspell is based on the Gospel of Luke and celebrates a message of love, compassion, community, and joy. UUFH’s own Joff Masukawa stars as Jesus, while Steve Tipps joins the ensemble cast singing, dancing, and sharing parables about caring for one another.

Come support local theater, celebrate our talented UUFH community members, and help keep the chalice glowing bright.

Volunteers are still needed, so click here if you're interested in helping out.

Inspired by the UU Common Read, we will inaugurate the new UUFH Summer Read beginning on May 31st in the Fellowship Hall.

In order to deepen our understanding of the centrality of love in our new UUA Article II, we will read together the collection of essays in the volume, “Love at the Center: Unitarian Universalist Theologies”, edited by UUA President Dr. Sofía Betancourt.

This year our curriculum will be simplified to focus on sharing and interactive discussion. The series of four sessions will be at 12:30 - 2 p.m. in Fellowship Hall on: May 31, June 28, July 12, Aug 23.

Click here to order a copy of the book, or if you need a free copy of the book, email Sunday Shae.

Join UUFH at this year's Hendersonville Pride Festival, to be held Saturday, June 6 at Jackson Park from noon to 5 p.m.

Our Fellowship is a Blue-level sponsor of the event, and we will have a booth. If you'd like to help us staff our booth, please use this link to sign up for a one-hour slot. More details to come!
