Online WorshipAs we navigate reopening, we are alternating between guest speaker and lay-led services (held every two weeks), and virtual coffee hours. Some of our services may be virtual, and some a hybrid of in-person and online. We invite members and friends to visit other UU congregations virtually during our weeks off. The 4th Word newsletter will have links to suggested services. When 4th UU meets in person, we will also livestream on Zoom so people can watch and listen from home.
