COVID UPDATE
July 5, 2022
We just wanted to give folks a quick update on Covid issues at the church. So far three members of staff have tested positive for the virus (though not all three are related cases). All staff members are getting treatment and recovering under care at home at this point so that is good news so far. Staff members are adhering to Cal OSHA rules for those sick and exposed (around isolation and quarantine, masking and testing).
We are continuing to continue to take all appropriate precautions for the safety of those who are sick and others in our community. Meanwhile, the Center continues to be open. AS for Sunday worship, we are busy determining whether we can put in place sufficient contingencies to make worship possible this week and will get back to as soon as we make that determination to update you.
Thank you so much for your concern. If there is any information you’d like us to have that we might not have access to, please feel free to forward it to Covidgroup@uusf.org.
Summer Updates
The UUSF COVID Advisory Group has chosen to maintain our current safety practices for the foreseeable future. This means for Sunday Worship Service:
Vaccination required for entry
Masks required while indoors.
Strong encouragement to wear a N95, KN95 mask, or a surgical mask.
Social distancing recommended while indoors
There will be no childcare available on Sundays at UUSF this Summer. We have set up the Thomas Starr King room with activities for children and the livestream of the Sunday Service, so parents can watch remotely and safely. Parents of infants who are still breastfeeding are welcome into the Sanctuary. Childcare resumes in September.

ANNOUNCING OUR NEW MINISTER
The Reverend Laura Shennum
It is my pleasure to announce, along with the Search Advisory Team, that the Rev. Laura Shennum will be joining our staff next fall as our new Minister of Congregational Life, stepping into the role that Rev. Alyson Jacks has served these last 10 years. Rev. Shennum comes to us after more than a decade of experience in the Unitarian Universalist ministry, religious education and in depth training and experience in chaplaincy, and we are very excited about the possibilities of her leadership and experience on our shared journey into this next chapter of life together.
