As announced in the Board of Trustees Update email on Sept. 27, the Board has reviewed and revised the guidelines regarding Covid 19.

As of  September 25, UUSS no longer checks for proof of vaccination, but we recommend vaccinations and boosters. The Board strongly encourages masking in the sanctuary when possible, to respect the concerns of others. However, the Board will no longer require masks indoors as of Sunday, Oct. 9.  If there are masked people seated next to you, please ask them before removing your own mask. A section of the sanctuary will be reserved for masked individuals only, to respect those who wish to remain surrounded by others who are masked.  This week, you can find these seats in the front three rows on the left side as you face the chancel or stage.  Hand sanitizer and  masks are available in the Welcome Hall.  The Board recommends continued practice of those other actions that make a difference in keeping us all healthier: keep social distance, wash your hands often, get vaccinated (including a flu shot!), test when needed, and stay home when you are sick or Covid- positive.  Along with the Board, our ministers remind us that in our community, these times of challenge and change call for extra grace, patience, consideration of one another.
