Update on First Universalist’s Response to
Increases COVID-19 Cases in Monroe County
The COVID Task Force together with the Executive Committee of our Board has concluded the risks are at present too great to continue with in-person Sunday services, Thursday concerts, and meetings in our building for the remainder of January.
Effectively immediately, all Sunday services and meetings will revert to online only.
Throughout the month our Board and Task Force will monitor the situation carefully and make decisions about next steps. The Board will give an update during the last week of January regarding plans beyond January 30.
The decision was a hard one to make, as we have been so delighted to return to our building. On the other hand, we welcome the chance to be together again as we stay safely in our homes and see one another on our screens.
In the meantime, we urge you to get your booster shot if you have not already done so, and wear KN95 masks or better for protection when in public.

Sunday Service:
Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner
1/23/22 at 10:30am
Verdis LeVar Robinson, member and seminarian sponsored by First Universalist, will share his story of bringing an unexpected guest to a family dinner. How can we stand on the side of love and cultivate relationships that accept and empower authenticity and realness in our own lives and the lives of our loved ones? How do we become a beloved community that not only welcomes all but affirms the inherent worth and dignity of all?
Speaker: Rev. Lane Campbell
This service (and all other through the end of January 2022) will be held online via Zoom ONLY.
