Please Note:
- If you would like your submission to run more than one week, please include that in your email.

Any scheduled event that was to be held at the church has been cancelled at that location.
You should contact the committee chair or contact for the event to get information on alternate locations or methods of meeting.
The Board will reassess the situation in early April to determine whether activities, including in-house worship services, will resume in the building.

Caring for one another is more important than ever right now. In order to ensure that our congregation is well-tended during our physical separation, checking in on one another is critical.
If you would be willing to commit to checking in on a list of 10-12 households each week, please email Rev. Hannah or text/call her at 414-870-1028.
You would be responsible for reaching out via phone call or text to those households once a week to check in and see how they are faring, whether anyone is sick, and what support they might need. You wouldn’t be expected to meet those needs all on your own. It is just helpful to have folks out there making sure that we know how our folks are doing.

Important! Please Read!
We have been experiencing a growing issue with peanut residue in the building, especially in the library. Please, do not bring peanut products into the building, and if your little ones enjoy their peanut butter snacks before coming, please be sure their hands are clean before they touch surfaces used by everyone. We are seeing almost daily allergic reactions, so we ask you to please be diligent. It may be an inconvenience to you, but it can be life-threatening to those who are allergic.

NEW! Registration Payment Plan
Prefer smaller payments over a longer period of time? We’ve designed a payment plan just for you. When you register, simply click “payment plan” when prompted and, for as little as $50 down, you can spread out the balance of your registration over several months. Registration must be paid in full on or before February 29, 2020.
The UUA is committed to the goal of making GA accessible to as many attendees as possible. Go to uua.org/ga to learn about scholarships to support participation – particularly of those from marginalized groups – and volunteer opportunities (work in exchange for registration). The UUA is committed to addressing the inclusion of all people, whatever their abilities might be, in all GA activities. Beyond the physical accessibility of the facilities we use – ramps, captioning, seating cut-outs, etc.- we endeavor to take the next step: to truly welcome people with disabilities into every facet of GA. |
