Building Use GuidelinesIn the spirit of love and concern for each other’s safety, we are requiring that those attending Sunday services in person be vaccinated (except for children under 12) and masked. Masks must be worn at all times when inside the building.
To the extent possible, we ask that you try to be seated at least six feet from people not in your household, and to maintain the same physical distance when standing. During the service, a microphone will be available on a stand at the front of the room. The microphone will not be passed from hand to hand. Please wear your mask when speaking. Weather permitting, coffee may be offered outside. Please continue to wear your mask unless actively eating or drinking. Do not re-enter the building without a mask. We ask that if, after the service, you show symptoms of COVID-19, that you be tested promptly, and if positive, inform Marc or Josh that you have tested positive. Notice will be given to others in attendance that they may wish to be tested as well. Your confidentiality will be preserved unless you request otherwise. These guidelines will be reviewed periodically and adjusted if conditions change. Minister's Message
Chalice Lighting Invitation: If you don’t already have a chalice or candle that you light at home when we do our chalice lighting during our Zoom Sunday services, I invite you to consider making one available to yourself and family. I have a pretty cup with a stem that I put a candle in to be able to join in that ritual part of the service, and I find doing so brings another level of settling into our faith tradition for me. It also connects me more consciously to all the other UUs and friends gathered that day - those near and far - for a shared time of reflection and deepening. Perhaps you might find this, too.
- Rev. Terry ======= Rev. Theresa Kime is the remote quarter-time minister for 4th UU. She is available via Zoom, email, or phone the week that covers the second Monday of the month. You may contact her by email at rev.terry@fourthuu.org. Her upcoming week with us is June 13 - 19. ======= In the CommunityYorktown Zen Meditation
