UCM is adopting recommendations from the Unitarian Universalist Association that all <span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong style="font-size:14px;font-style:italic;">church gatherings of more than 25 people be immediately suspended</strong>, so on Sunday there will be no congregation.

It would likely be just Joan, Eliza, possibly one or two other helpers for recording purposes, you all, and me!</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Please let me know if you are willing to attend and sing. To recap: you would come at 9:15 to rehearse. The service would begin at 10:00, and probably NOT last as long as an hour. <u>There will not be other people coming to the service.</u></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u>Please "reply all"</u> so that we can assess whether the choir will have a role in this Sunday's service.
