January 2022 Sunday Services

January 2022 Sunday Services

IN JANUARY we begin the month Jan 2 and Jan 9 with services held on Zoom, then on Jan 16 we will return to in-person services, wearing masks and making use of the ample space for social distancing. We will remain upstairs for the social hour,  to facilitate social distancing,   and we will refrain from eating and drinking so we can stay masked.    The Board will also meet that day after the service, and will continue to assess the in-person vs Zoom situation.

As of Jan 16, MTVUUF will return to the schedule of in-person services for the first 3 (or 4) Sundays of the month, and on the last Sunday of each month services will be held on Zoom. See below for special January schedule, as the transition is mid-month- the 16th & 23rd in person, then Zoom on the 30th.

Visitors are welcome to join us, in person at 1600 Isabella, Mt Vernon, on the third and fourth Sundays this month at 10 AM, and on Zoom on the first, second, and last Sunday of the month, 10 AM.
