DISCUSSION: The New Jim Crow Sept 27th 7-8pm
Sponsored by the Social Justice Committee The Social Justice Committee is offering ways for all of us to help work toward a world where Black Lives DO Matter.Twice a month, the Social Justice Committee is sharing ways to Learn and Take Action for Black Lives. All of us feel called to do something to change our racist society, but many of us feel that we have little time. These bi-monthly emails give you a concrete way to learn something – either reading something or watching a short video, and then do something – write a letter or participate in a class or an action. A short commitment of time and energy that can allow you to make a difference. Look for these emails on lekooks. We are also leading Zoom discussions on highly recommended books and movies by African Americans that help us understand systemic racism in our society.

LCUUC Procedures for COVID-19 (August 26, 2020)
Board-Approved Guidelines for Outdoor Property Use
and Initial Procedures for Indoor Property Use
As we navigate the COVID-19 pandemic together, we continue to explore safe methods for connecting our LCUUC community. We do this out of concern for others and our acknowledgement of shared UU Principles.
Background: A special Work Group began collaborating in May to look at best practices using evidence-based research regarding COVID-19 precautions (Elisabeth Harrahy, Paula Hillmann, John Kuhn, Sue Lewis, Cathy Marrari, Lois Remeikis, Greg Valde). They studied the medical and psychosocial science research from the CDC, FDA, APA, State of Wisconsin, UW and other research institutions; and Regional, County and UUA recommendations for safe in-person gatherings.
The Work Group administered online surveys to LCUUC members, staff and committees regarding their needs and concerns for regathering. Survey data and recommendations were presented by the Work Group to the Board of Trustees in June and August. This resulted in our development of guidelines and procedures that help ensure the safety and health of members, staff and visitors of all ages.
The Board approved Guidelines for Outdoor Property Use effective June 25, 2020.
The Board reviewed existing Guidelines for Outdoor Property Use and the Work Group’s recommendations for Indoor Property Use at its meeting on August 18, 2020. Guidelines for Outdoor Property Use (approved June 25, 2020) remain in place.
The following initial procedures for reentry and Use of Indoor Property were approved. An addition for the inclusion of an outdoor portable toilet rental was made. The Board will continue to review evidence-based research regarding COVID-19 and change procedures and guidelines at subsequent Board meetings, as needed.
We do this out of loving kindness for our church family, our staff, our friends and visitors, and for our community. If you have any questions, concerns or ideas regarding our work, please contact our Minister, Reverend Carin Bringelson or any of the LCUUC Board Members.
