Black Lives Matter - Learn & Take Action for April 2021 #2 |
All of us feel called to do something to change our racist society, but we have little time. These twice a month Black Lives Matter Learn & Take Action emails give us a concrete way to learn something and then do something. This short commitment of time and energy encourages you to make a difference.
This “Groundhog’s Day” edition of BLM Learn & Take Action reviews some of the articles and videos you might have missed. Here is a SUMMARY of things we learned January – April 2021:
LEARN & TAKE ACTION

COVID-19 Update - LCUUC |
April 23, 2021
|
Dear LCUUC Community of Friends,
There is a sign on the door of our building that reads “Masks Required” when in the building. This policy remains unchanged regardless of vaccination status. The only person with an exemption is Rev. Carin who can choose to wear or not wear a mask in her private office while alone and has the door closed.
We have no way to monitor people coming in and out of the building. Nor can we invade the privacy of others by asking them their vaccination status, or require vaccination for inclusion in our church community.
We are currently assessing the safety and health status of the indoor property, especially ventilation in the offices, classrooms, social hall, and sanctuary. We will phase in re-entry.
The outdoor guidelines as approved March 23, 2021 remain unchanged at this point. (See Church website for Outdoor Property Use). However, we are regularly monitoring CDC recommendations in conjunction with the COVID ActNow guidelines for Waukesha County and hope that numbers of COVID cases continue to drop so that we can increase our outdoor gathering limits. These changes will fluctuate with changes in the number of cases reported.
https://covidactnow.org/us/wisconsin-wi/county/waukesha_county/?s=1666600
Based on these guidelines, recommended limits on the number of persons attending outdoor events at LCUUC are as follows:
COVID ActNow Risk Level Recommended Outdoor Gathering Limits:
Critically High and Very High: 10 people
High: 25 people
Medium: 50
Low: 100
All outdoor events must be scheduled with the church office. The person in charge of the event should be up to date on the risk levels and gathering limits and is responsible for enforcing the guidelines. Our congregational administrator, Leann, can provide you with more information on scheduling and the guidelines. Please contact the church office as needed.
Thank you for your compassion and patience. These are difficult social-emotional times for all of us. We miss our hugs and friendly hellos with each other in the sanctuary and elsewhere.
.
In community, Paula Hillmann, LCUUC Board President

A Welcoming Community

For more than twenty years, the Welcoming Congregation Program sponsored by the UUA has helped Unitarian Universalist congregations become more welcoming and inclusive of people of all sexual orientations and gender identities. The spiritual practice of welcome is a very important one to the LCUUC faith community, and the continuing commitment to bringing attention to and taking action in regards to social justice issues is our work.
