In-person Sunday services will be at 9:30am this Sunday. No live stream or video will be recorded. Mask wearing is at your own discretion and some pews are blocked off to give those who feel more comfortable as much social distancing as possible. Hope UCC reminds everyone, no matter where you are in your spiritual journey you are always welcome here. We will notify everyone if there is a need for steaming service in the future. Below is a sample video during the Covid restrictions.
