COVID Policy

• We continue with hybrid services (in-person/Zoom). Our current policy is that everyone entering the building must be vaccinated (unless exempt), which applies to children also. Masks are optional for worship services and small group meetings.
  
  
• Singing by the congregation and the choir is allowed with masks optional.
  
  
• Small groups can meet in person if they wish, meet on Zoom – or do a mixture. This includes all of our teams and the Board itself. We will do our best to publish how meetings are going to be held, and please check with the leader of each meeting if you’re not sure.
  
  
• Indoor eating events are allowed – coffee hour, Friday night potlucks, and our annual Harvest Feast, etc.

• 
  ​

Please be aware that the situation is fluid. We are monitoring the situation frequently, so stay tuned for updates.

Update: February 12, 2023

The board of trustees, with the recommendation of the COVID task force, has voted to relax the mask mandate for singing. Previously masks were required for singing; now masks are optional.

The risk of COVID is relatively low at this time, as well as the risk of flu. These diseases, of course, continue to be present in the community and do pose a health risk to older people and people with compromised immune systems.

Everyone is encouraged to make good health choices to reduce their risk of COVID, flu, colds, and other contagious diseases. These include appropriate vaccinations and boosters, frequent hand washing, and masking when appropriate.

​The UUFCM and its leaders do their best to set COVID policies that respond to changes in public health, balancing the risk of disease with the reward of gathering together. We are committed to making as many UUFCM events as possible available on Zoom as well.
