Parenting While UU Covenant Group
Parents and caregivers want to do everything they can to support the well-being of a child or youth. Unitarian Universalists believe that parents, often supported by the local congregation's religious education program, are the primary spirituality and faith educators for their children. It is through nurturing religious and spiritual experiences and values for their children that caregivers grow their own spirits, finding within themselves strengths and capacities to be their children's primary spiritual guides and mentors. As a resource for parents, we would like to offer a once-monthly covenant group for parents at a time to be determined. If you are interested in joining this group, please sign-up here.
Policy for Returning to Church
If you test positive for COVID-19, or become aware of another individual at UUFC who tests positive for COVID-19, please refer to the Pandemic Exposure Procedures.
At the behest of the Board, the Council of Committees took over the work of the Re-Entry Task Force to establish policies and guidelines for a safe and responsible return to our physical facilities during the novel coronavirus pandemic. A significant number of our members, friends, staff and their households are in one or more high risks groups. Our faith tradition calls us to make the safety of all of these individuals our highest priority. That same tradition also calls us to respect the guidance of science when making decisions concerning reopening our facilities.
Criteria for Reopening
Any transition to reopening, or any transition from one phase to another of reopening, must be informed by the relevant data regarding COVID-19 cases in the area (specifically, Anderson,Oconee, Pickens and Greenville counties in SC, and Hart county in GA), with a minimum of 14 days of a downward trend in new cases........

Virtual Tea Tasting Sunday March 28th at 2:00 PM
The Virtual Tea Tasting workshop online (zoom) will be similar to the previous virtual chocolate workshop. Participants will need to obtain three or four tea samples ahead of time. My suggestion would be for a white, green, oolong and black tea. If you are interested and respond via email ( chocolate.tea.jon@gmail.com ), I will send you some specific suggestions for small samples available from Upton Tea. (The sample size is suitable for 3-4 cups.) However, feel free to buy whatever you like or use tea you already have. A virtual tea tasting means that each participant or small group will be brewing tea during the workshop so you might want to visualize the best way to accomplish this process ahead of time. It shouldn't last more than an hour but that depends on the questions at the end. Additional information and links will be provided if you respond to the above email address. Note that the SWIM crowd and others will be invited. (SWIM has a weekly get together every Tuesday at 6:30 and all are welcome.) Take care and stay safe.
Enrollment Now Open
New Online Covenant Groups
Interested in joining an online covenant group?
The Rev. Christina Branum-Martin will facilitate
up to two new online groups (unfortunately,
COVID-19 does not yet permit in-person
meetings) beginning this fall. Covenant groups are a great way to get to know other members and friends better, and, of course, to get to know our new interim minister! If you would like to participate, please fill out the online form here. For more information, contact Karen Hiebel, dlff@uufc.org
