Group Meetings Recommendations Beginning May 2021

December 2020 Update from Board of Trustees About Building Closure Due to COVID-19

TUUC Together Team is charged by the Board of Trustees to review parameters of meeting again in-person in the church facility alongside hybrid options, and make any needed recommendations to the Board.

TUUC’s Board of Trustees’ goal is to help our community come together in familiar and refreshing ways. This includes reopening our church property for in-person worship services and activities, including children’s and youth religious exploration, with reasonable (and officially required) safety measures, as soon as feasible, while also continuing online gathering as appropriate. A particular challenge for our congregation is determining the suitability of using our downstairs space, mostly used for children and youth programming, as well as some small group gatherings and meetings.

August Sundays, 12:00 – 1:00 p.m.

Are you eager to meet in person again? Beginning Sunday, August 8, and continuing every Sunday in August at 12:00 noon following online worship service, we are planning to get together at Wapato Park from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m. This is an informal outside gathering to be in community. Thanks to the Coming Together Team we have good safety guidelines to follow for in person gatherings.

The address for Wapato Park is 6500 S. Sheridan Ave. Park at the Central Lot using the entrance at S. Sheridan Ave and S. 68th St.

Head towards the children’s play area, and sign in at the small table set up nearby. While no food or drink will be provided, feel free to bring your own. You can also bring a blanket or a chair to sit on. Come join us help build our Tahoma UU community.

Hosts for our kick-off Sunday will be board members Maria Crowley and Christine Chansley. No pre-registration necessary. Please refer to Outdoor Gathering guidelines posted here: https://www.tahomauu.com/outdoor-gathering-guidelines-for-tuuc-sponsored-events-in-public-spaces-2021-july-29/
