Worship and Upcoming Services

Worship at GNUUC


Our regular Sunday morning worship service takes place at 11:00 a.m. in the Sanctuary. It usually lasts about 60 or 65 minutes. The Sunday service is followed by lunch and time for fellowship in the Fellowship Hall.

We welcome visitors at all of our public worship services. Please dress comfortably; dress ranges from shorts to coat and tie, and most people dress informally.

Minister and Guest Speakers


GNUUC is pleased to have a dynamic and caring minister, Rev. Dr. Dan Rosemergy, who overextends his half time status beyond the Sunday Service to caring and counseling the congregation, and active participation in our community.

We also host intriguing Sunday Guest Speakers every month featuring an unmatched diversity and quality of speakers including Prof. A.J. Levine, Rabbi Rami Shapiro, Rev. Gary White, and the Rev. Bill Barnes.

Children are welcome at our services!


Children participate in the first 15 minutes of the Sunday morning worship service. After the Event for All Ages, the children leave to attend their Youth Religious Education classes.

Rev. Dan Rosemergy

"The Charter of Compassion: An Update"

The Charter of Compassion is a cooperative effort to restore not 
only compassionate thinking but, more importantly, compassionate
action to
the center of religious, moral, and political life. Compassion is
the
principled determination to put ourselves in the shoes of the other,
and
lies at the heart of all religious and ethical systems. Karen
Armstrong,--religious scholar., teacher, author and lecturer-- worked
with a
multi-faith, multi-national council of thinkers and leaders to craft
the
Charter Statement which has now been endorsed by nearly a
100,000
individuals, congregations, and organizations. Her recent
book: "Twelve
Steps To a Compassionate Life" is the guiding model for
building
compassionate partners and communities across the globe.
Nashville has now
been designated as a Compassionate City with
leadership being provided by
Rabbi Rami Shapiro and Wisdom House
(Scarritt-Bennett Center). Dan is
serving on the new Steering
Committee to find creative ways to reach out to
Nashville through the
arts, music, social media, and community organizing.
It is an exciting
movement and one very much at the heart of what Unitarian

Universalism is all about.
