Across the country, community leaders are recognizing that police are not the best suited to safely and effectively help people experiencing behavioral health crises. Nationally and in Nashville, such calls to police have resulted in injury and even death to those needing help. Community responder programs improve health outcomes, reduce unnecessary arrests, and save lives.

Read MoreIt would be wonderful to have a few extra helpers for the Christmas Eve service. If you aren’t already signed up and are willing to help with any of the following, please email Rev. Denise (revdenise@gnuuc.org) before Thursday at 5 p.m.:
An extra “camera operator”: Bring your own device & log into Zoom so you can provide views of our vocalists (who will be on the platform, so you don’t need to move around much). You might also provide views of the congregation if you wish.
Bell ringers (especially youth): we will need one or two folks to make a joyful noise to welcome us all into the worship service. We have a few bells to provide, but if you have extras, bring ‘em!
Greeters: Welcome congregants at the door, help them sign in & mask up.
Candle wranglers: Hand out candles & paper bobeches (did you know that’s their name?!) at the doors to the sanctuary, and help collect at the end of the service.
Also needed: large baskets or (perhaps festively wrapped) boxes to collect candles in the hall & foyer.
Light outener: One attentive person to help switch off lights during the service.
Readers: If you are willing to do a reading (or be a backup in case someone doesn’t make it), we have a couple of open spots being assigned soon…
Email revdenise@gnuuuc.org to be part of the team!
