Requirements for Attending InPerson Service at the BUUC
We are aware of the statistics concerning the variants of the Covid virus and want to keep our members and friends safe, so with that in mind, we are implementing the following changes for the time being regarding returning to services in person:
We are aware of the statistics concerning the variants of the Covid virus and want to keep our members and friends safe, so with that in mind, we are implementing the following changes for the time being regarding returning to services in person:
- First of all, we hope that all who can receive the Covid vaccine have been vaccinated. But we are aware that vaccines do not guarantee complete protection. Therefore, we are requiring that everyone entering the building wear a facemask whenever there is more than one person inside. This applies to any time before, during and after the service.
- The ushers will seat people as they come in to assure that there is personal distance maintained for single people as well as families or pods of people. While it is unlikely to happen, we reserve the right to turn people away if we determine that we have reached full capacity for safety.
- We are asking that people not bring food or drink into the sanctuary as eating or drinking requires removal of facemasks.
- We are streaming the service on Zoom for those who are uncomfortable attending the service in person.
- If you are participating in our services via Zoom, please email your joys and concerns to buuc01506@gmail.com with the subject line “Joys & Concerns” no later than 12:00pm on the Saturday before the service.
- We will not provide nursery care at the beginning of the church year but hope to add it at a future date.
We acknowledge that our church is located on land that is the traditional territory of the Quaboag People and the Nipmuck Nation. We recognize that our church and our country was built on Indigenous land. We are inspired by the hills, waters and wildlife around us and acknowledge the legacy and stewardship of this land’s original inhabitants, who suffered great losses in the building of our country.
