<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif">This is the email I mentioned in our meeting, I don't think the meeting Beth Casebolt is having is limited to board members or anything. She has one every week and I attended one and I was the only person there. This is just for Appalachian Cluster people, and there is some sense to that for the issue of reopening since conditions are different here than in many other places with UU churches.</div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">---------- Forwarded message ---------<br>From: <strong class="gmail_sendername" dir="auto">Kat Hawbaker via Trusteez7</strong> <span dir="auto"><<a href="mailto:trusteez7@fuusm.org">trusteez7@fuusm.org</a>></span><br>Date: Mon, May 18, 2020 at 8:37 PM<br>Subject: [Trusteez7] Fwd: [AppalachianCluster] New Guidelines from the UUA<br>To: Trusteez7 <<a href="mailto:Trusteez7@fuusm.org">Trusteez7@fuusm.org</a>><br>Cc: Kat Hawbaker <<a href="mailto:revkatgreen@gmail.com">revkatgreen@gmail.com</a>><br></div><br><br><div style="word-wrap:break-word"><br><div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div>Begin forwarded message:</div><br><div style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px"><span style="font-family:-webkit-system-font,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgba(0,0,0,1.0)"><b>From: </b></span><span style="font-family:-webkit-system-font,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,sans-serif">Beth Casebolt via AppalachianCluster <<a href="mailto:appalachiancluster@lists.cerguua.org" target="_blank">appalachiancluster@lists.cerguua.org</a>><br></span></div><div style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px"><span style="font-family:-webkit-system-font,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgba(0,0,0,1.0)"><b>Subject: </b></span><span style="font-family:-webkit-system-font,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,sans-serif"><b>[AppalachianCluster] New Guidelines from the UUA</b><br></span></div><div style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px"><span style="font-family:-webkit-system-font,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgba(0,0,0,1.0)"><b>Date: </b></span><span style="font-family:-webkit-system-font,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,sans-serif">May 18, 2020 at 3:44:18 PM EDT<br></span></div><div style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px"><span style="font-family:-webkit-system-font,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgba(0,0,0,1.0)"><b>To: </b></span><span style="font-family:-webkit-system-font,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,sans-serif">Appalachian Cluster <<a href="mailto:appalachiancluster@lists.cerguua.org" target="_blank">appalachiancluster@lists.cerguua.org</a>><br></span></div><div style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px"><span style="font-family:-webkit-system-font,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgba(0,0,0,1.0)"><b>Reply-To: </b></span><span style="font-family:-webkit-system-font,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,sans-serif">Beth Casebolt <<a href="mailto:BCasebolt@uua.org" target="_blank">BCasebolt@uua.org</a>><br></span></div><br><div>

If you did not see Susan Frederick-Gray’s email on Thursday, the UUA is now recommending that all Congregations plan to be virtual only through May 31, 2021. Read the full text of that email here:

<div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>When you are ready to start considering re-opening, you will want to read through the UUA’s guidance on gathering in-person that helps you think about the questions each group will need to talk about, please read it here:</div>

</div>
<div>I’m certain you all have different thoughts and emotions around this topic. So I want to offer two different opportunities for you to gather and reflect on this news.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>First of all I am offering a time for us to gather as a cluster on Wednesday, May 27th at 7 pm. The zoom information for this meeting is at the end of this email. You are invited to come and share your success stories from the past couple of months,
your frustrations and how you are thinking about approaching the new church year. And perhaps we may talk about ways the different congregations can work together in the next year. We could share services and presentations, small group gatherings or other
opportunities.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Second, the CER staff has scheduled a series of webinars for congregational leaders to gather with their peers to have the same types conversations. You can find the details, dates and times for each group on this blog post: </div>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>I hope all of you are doing well and your congregations are weathering the this unusual time. Please remember that I am here to help in any way I can, be it point you to resources, answer your questions or event preach the occasional sermon for
you. Please don’t hesitate to reach out.</div>
