GHUUC AND THE CURRENT SITUATION
Our Sunday Services are In Person services when possible. These services will be a HYBRID service, so that people who feel uncomfortable or are unable to meet in person can still participate in the service. Other meetings, such as committee meetings, Gratitude Time and Adult RE are virtual unless otherwise stated. As we gather in person, Masks are optional in the building and we ask that you respect physical distance. If you are sick, even if it is not COVID, please Zoom in instead of in person. Sunday Services Schedule 11:00 a.m. Sunday mornings online via the Zoom app and at GHUUC. If you do participate via Zoom, the session opens up at 10:30 a.m., so please sign on prior to 11:00 a.m. For 2024 our theme will be "Taking Action" July 28 - "Our Polar Worlds" - In this service we will view beautiful images and consider the uniqueness and importance of the Arctic and Antarctic regions to our planet's well-being. The service connects to our "respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part." Join us this Sunday! If you are interested in joining us for our Virtual Sunday Services, please contact us at: [email protected] for log on information. See below for a list of past Sunday Service topics. May peace and good health be with you. |
