UPUCC Continues 'Hybrid' Worship (In-Person and Online as well!)
- Don your masks and ‘join in’ for our joyful steps toward ‘normalcy’!
- As an unabashedly liberal group, in this instance we will move more cautiously, asking all present to wear masks while indoors. The service is also live- streamed to allow all to participate.
Sunday 10:30 am Worship Zoom link:

As always, children
are welcome in worship. Families come to worship together. After the Children's Moment, children and adult leaders enjoy a brief lesson together, then dismiss to build healthy friendships in outdoor play (or indoors, depending on the weather).
Youth Group meets most Sundays at 12 pm. Contact tyler@upucc.org for details.
Sunday Forums 9 am - Join in person in the church library or online:

reform efforts and discuss next steps we may be able to take to urge for
reform.
