A Message from Our Pastors
"For Such a Time as This"

In-person Worship suspended until May 10

We are not taking this decision lightly but feel that it is the most socially responsible and faithful decision to not only protect our own members but also the community at large. We have a calling to care for the community and the most vulnerable among us and we feel that we are fulfilling that call.

​We've been using the book of Esther and the verse, "....for such a time as this," as our theme this Lenten season, and the current health crisis calls for us to take significant action "for such a time as this," for the sake of and well-being of all.

If you know someone who does not have access to our website, please contact them to let them know that we will not be worshiping together in person.

Virtual Worship

Even though we will not be gathering in our facility for worship, we can still "come together" for worship and prayers. Our plan is as follows:
  • We have set 10 a.m. Sunday morning as a time for our congregation to "gather" for worship and prayer in our own homes.
  • We will host a  Facebook Live event on our ULC Facebook page  to lead all of you in a virtual worship service sharing reflections on Sunday's reading and hopefully allow for people to connect in with questions.
  • How to connect to our Facebook Live Virtual Worship.
  • If you prefer to watch virtual worship later, you may view them on our YouTube channel.
  • We will also share on Facebook the "Reflection Selection" video that would have been shown in worship. 
  • We will send out an email that contains Sunday's Scripture reading and our Assisting Minister prayers.
  • We will continue to have virtual worship each Sunday and during Holy Week.
  • You'll receive an email on Wednesday with our Lenten Prayers.
  • Pastor Haley Vay and I will continue to keep you updated with occasional video messages.

Please Continue to Give

In addition to impacting our worship and activities, precautions related to COVID-19 will also have a negative impact on our giving. Please continue to give and support our ministries. You can:
  • Mail a check to church.
  • Take advantage of direct deposit.
  • Donate via PayPal (you do not need to create a PayPal account to make a donation)
Although we may not be gathering for in-person worship, the fixed expenses for our ministries, staffing, and building operations continue.

​Thank you for your continued and faithful support.
