Dear UUFCM Members and Friends:

Sunday morning worship service will be cancelled this week (March 15) due to the coronavirus. Instead of meeting in person, you will be invited to join online if you have internet access. We are still figuring out that part, and will send more details about online streaming as soon as we can.

Other Fellowship events this Sunday are also cancelled, including choir, the religious education program, and the monthly discussion group. However, the board of trustees’ monthly meeting will still take place on Sunday.

We have not decided yet about other Fellowship activities going forward. Please stay connected and ask if you’re not sure about scheduled Fellowship events.

This decision was made by me (Drew) in consultation with board president Carol Rard. Given the precautions recommended by public health officials it clearly seemed like the right call. The Unitarian Universalist Association is recommending that all of our churches and fellowships suspend meetings of 25 people or more. Their website, UUA.org, has some good resources and information.

I feel sad that we can’t meet like we normally would this Sunday. And I am looking forward to experimenting with online worship. I feel scared about the uncertainty that comes with this pandemic. And I feel confident that the Fellowship will survive this crisis. I know that we will find ways to stay connected and to come together (more by phone and by video, less in person).

I’m committed to meeting the spiritual needs of everyone in this congregation. I know that this moment is difficult. Please don’t feel like you have to go through it alone. You can call me at any time. You can reach out to other loved ones, in this Fellowship and beyond, for support and love.

May we be safe. May we be loved. May we be healthy in mind, body and spirit.

Drew
