Robyn Needs your help on Saturday Morning!!!!!

We are expecting many visitors for the celebration of Sue's life. We need help setting up chairs and tables.

Please come help Robyn at 10 am.

Bet you didn't know that gratitude grows on trees!

You can help our tree leaf out by expressing your gratitude for someone or something here at UUCNH. Print it on a leaf and affix it to the tree.

If you would rather, you may share your gratitude by printing on a dove and affixing it wherever you want.

By summer's end, we hope to have a fully leafed tree and a sky full of doves. Let's make it happen!

Cherishing the Connectedness of All Things

General Assembly 2025

Your UUCNH delegates would like to share a few “pearls” discovered or re-learned at GA. What are pearls you ask? Pearls are those nuggets of information you can use to make a difference, moments of enlightenment, or simply being reminded of something which has new, refreshed meaning now.

Our feedback will be as diverse as we, your delegates are. To read our reflections on UUA GA 2025, click here.
