SJOT (Social Justice Outreach Team) has been a vital part of UUFH for nine years, and that’s how long Carole Repici has chaired the committee. (Charlotte Corrigan has been her co-chair for the past two years.) The accomplishments of SJOT have touched our congregation, Hendersonville, and the world in many ways. Carole spearheaded the committee […]
This month’s Soul Matters theme is Perseverance, or “What does it mean to be a people of perseverance?” When we think of persevering, we think of sticking with something, even when we want to quit or put it off, or after we have failed to hold to our good intent, or when we despair that […]

Here’s a homework suggestion for the New Year. No, seriously, if you take the time to do this, you might thank me. It looks like four pages, but it’s really just two; one you can skim, one is blank, and only two take some thinking. Simply read through the Introduction to the Soul Matters materials […]

We think everyone should […]
Thanks to Tom Repici, Ken Schmidt, Ron Partin, Bill Mahler, Donn Swift, and Ron Hollmeier, the mold problem is solved and resolved. Tom discovered there were several places where the downspout was not connected to the gutters of the church building. This solved the source of the water problem in the nursery closet and the […]
Happy New Year! We hear this all of the time, but what does that salutation mean to you? To me it means we have another chance to think about the person we want to be, and to focus on the work we need to do to be that person. I am not sure New Year’s […]
The Fellowship began its relationship with Unitarian Universalist ministers when the Rev. Charles Grady began his part-time ministry with the congregation. When Charles decided to retire, more than 20 years ago, the Fellowship called the Rev. Jim McKinley. Later, the Rev. Judith Long became affiliated with the Fellowship as a community-based minister. The Fellowship has […]
