Dear fellowship,

Earlier today you should have received an email from our KUUF Board explaining that we have canceled services through the entire month of March, and detailing some of the information that helped the Board come to this decision. (You can see the letter here.)

As you know, COVID-19 continues to make its way through our state and country, and the effects on our every day lives continues to increase. At a time like this, it is difficult not to be able to gather together as we usually do. So I want to encourage you to reach out. Reach out to me, reach out to one another. I am only a phone call away. (360-377-4724. x 2.)

And the good news is that, while we won’t be gathering in person, we will be gathering online. We will be gathering this coming Sunday on our Youtube page. Head over there at 11am and join in the chat. It will be a fun, laid-back gathering with a little prayer, a little music and lots of opportunity to interact.

Regarding in-person connection, for those of you in Chalice Circles, I encourage you to check in with your people. For those of you not in a Chalice Circle, the Caring Committee and I have put together “Circles of Care” in which you’ll be invited to participate. Please look for an email from me in the next few days.

Until then, remember you are an important part of this precious community. Take care of your health, reach out if you feel isolated, and know that you are not alone.

Blessings and gratitude to you,

Rev. Jessica
