COVID Alert: Someone who attended Candlelight Christmas Eve service and the Christmas morning brunch has tested positive for COVID. Their symptoms started Monday evening. If you attended either event, please test. 

COVID guidelines:  Both Washington County, Ohio, and Wood County, West Virginia, were areas of medium COVID transmission as of December 30. Masks are optional, but we are mindful of reducing risks for others. We ask that you continue to sign in on Sunday mornings, and to notify the FUUSM Office if you test positive in the next few days so we can alert other attendees.
