Need a Little Hearing Assist?
We all need a little assistance now and then. So why not take advantage of the boost if your hearing needs a bit of help – no shame involved. Hearing assist headphones are available for the Sunday morning services. Just ask an usher for the device.

Missed A Sunday Service?
It is not the same as attending in-person or viewing in real time on Zoom, but portions of most worship services are available for later viewing on the church website – HUUC.net. For personal security reasons, the Candles of Community portion of the service is removed. However, if you can’t be physically or virtually there on a Sunday morning, you can still enjoy the music and reflections. A collection of recent Sunday worship service videos is available at https://huuc.net/worship-videos/.

Heritage Unitarian Universalist Land Acknowledgment
Heritage Unitarian Universalist Land Acknowledgment 1
Today we stand on the ancestral lands of the Hopewell, Adena, Kaskaskia, Osage, Wyandotte, Shawnee, and Myaamia Nations and others whose names are not known to us. We honor those peoples who stewarded this land for countless generations.
Many nations were removed unjustly by the U.S. government. We continue to be the beneficiaries of that removal through the ongoing legacies of settler colonialism. Today’s indigenous peoples are actively striving to maintain and revitalize their traditional ways and language.
We affirm that Heritage Universalist Unitarian Church, as part of the Unitarian Universalist Association, has joined the growing list of faith communities who wholly reject the premise of the Doctrine of Discovery, which, from the 15th century to the present, provided a legal and religious framework for sanctioning the brutal conquest and colonization of indigenous lands and people.
We are committed to taking a deep look at the ways our society has justified colonialism, domination, slavery, and the genocide of indigenous people.

Step Up to Serve Heritage Church
This spring brings many opportunities for you to step into leadership and serve Heritage Church and our wider denomination. Here are just a few:
Have you considered serving on our HUUC Board of Trustees or on our Endowment Committee? Nominate yourself or someone else by contacting Board Vice-President Julie Kane, at :
There are three three-year Board terms open beginning in July. There is one three-year term for the Endowment Committee beginning in July.
Would you like to get involved in Unitarian Universalism in the Greater Cincinnati area? Consider stepping up to represent Heritage on the UU Council of Greater Cincinnati. Again, apply to Julie Kane (see email address above).
All candidates will be voted on at our Annual Meeting on June 2, 2024.
Interested in being a delegate from Heritage to this year’s online-only UUA General Assembly? Speak with Board President Jaime Castle at:
You may have heard that there are important matters being voted on during G.A. this June. Heritage is entitled to four lay delegates, each of whom has a vote in those matters. We’d love to have our full slate of delegates filled this year, so if you’ve been thinking about this kind of involvement, now is the time to toss your hat in the ring. You don’t even have to leave the comfort of your own home, or your own laptop! If you have questions about General Assembly, speak with Rev. Bill Gupton at:
