COVID-19 and AUUF

The Board of Trustees of AUUF decided unanimously to adhere to the recommendations of both the Unitarian Universalist Association and the Centers for Disease Control to cancel all in-person events in an effort to “flatten the curve” and avoid spreading COVID-19 to our most vulnerable members. Per CDC recommendations, these recommendations will be in place until at least May 10. 

During this time, Rev. Chris has been working with various committees to create ways to keep our members connected.
