Full statement from the board:
As you all know and have experienced, our community is experiencing extremely high levels of COVID cases due to the Omicron variant. In order to safeguard the health of our members, the UUFJC board has decided to temporarily suspend in-person services and functions for four weeks, to resume February 20. During this time, we have one service scheduled; Feb. 6 with Rev. Adamek, which will be conducted via Zoom. The other Sundays, we encourage you to stream the services from Columbia or another congregation. The Forum will also be conducted by Zoom, with no more than one person in the building. The board meeting on Jan. 30 will also be conducted virtually. Given the nature of this surge, there is good reason to believe that by Feb. 20, it will be safe to resume gathering in person, using the precautions we have been using under our current policy. Still, we know that this is not what we would like to be doing. Please continue to communicate safely and support each other during this time. We look forward to gathering together again soon.
UPDATE FOR Sunday, January 23rd:
February Newsletter Submissions Due.

"Real ID Documents," Charlotte Parsons
Avoid long lines at the Dept. of Motor Vehicles when it comes time to renew your driver's license. Know ahead of time what is required for the REAL ID-COMPLIANT Driver's License going into effect May 3, 2023. If you're within 6 months of renewal, they will automatically ask you if you would like one. It's good to know what's needed. Come find out at our forum discussion.
Our Adult Forum is currently available only via Zoom.
