[Fuusm-l] FUUSM Order of Service, Sunday, Oct. 2, 11 a.m.

Fri Sep 30 12:37:41 CDT 2022

NOTE: Because some of our congregants have tested positive, we are mindful of reducing risks for others, so “We wear masks,” our practice according to the FUUSM Board of Trustees. Both Washington County, Ohio, and Wood County, West Virginia, were areas of medium COVID transmission as of Sept. 29, according to the CDC. 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.

Please join us in the FUUSM sanctuary at 11 a.m. Sunday, or on Zoom  https://zoom.us/j/94822183499?pwd=ZVhkMHZWSnR1bTI5czZWRk1zdFFmQT09
