COVID guidelines:  Both Washington County, Ohio, and Wood County, West Virginia, were areas of medium COVID transmission as of Oct. 20, according to the CDC. At such times, masks are optional, according to the FUUSM Board of Trustees. Because some of our 
congregants have tested positive, we are mindful of reducing risks for others. We ask that you continue to sign in on Sunday mornings, and notify the FUUSM Office if you test positive in the next few days, so we can alert other attendees.
