Our church is slowly reopening
•Sunday worship services returned to the sanctuary in April 2022 with a hybrid format: in person and via Zoom for those at home.
• Religious Education (RE) classes and our nursery are also open.
Some safety restrictions remain:
• Masks are optional for the vaccinated but we ask anyone not fully vaccinated to wear one to protect themselves and others. And anyone ill or in contact with those who are should worship via Zoom.
• People in the sanctuary are not singing hymns yet.
• After service refreshments have not returned yet. However, people may bring their own beverages. Everyone is encouraged to remain after the service for conversation as usual.
• Chair and row spacing remains at two-feet apart, which reduces the number of seats in the sanctuary. When you decide to return the worship in the sanctuary, please tell the worship chair worship@uuhagerstownmd.org

Important Note about Zoom Meetings
To attend a specific Zoom meeting or event, you need a log in link and password, which changes every time for security reasons. The log-in link is sent to the group’s participants a few days before the event. People who regularly attended the in person activity are already on the list to receive the log in information. If you are not receiving an emailed log-in link for the event you want to attend, you need to be added to the group email list.
To receive the log in link for Sunday worship, email worship@uuhagerstownmd.org by Thursday.
Zoom contacts for other activities are listed above.
