Dear United Church Congregation,

Over the past several weeks, the Executive Council, Trustees and Personnel Boards, Thrift Shop leaders, and staff have had extensive conversation about the safe and careful start-up of a few official activities at The United Church.  This has NOT included discussion about in-person worship services which will remain virtual.  This has included the availability of outside meetings in two designated places, transitional staffing of the office, and the Thrift Shop reopening. 

Meetings: Outside Only
While we encourage boards and committees to conduct business via Zoom or other teleconference options, a group of 10 or fewer may meet at the picnic tables near the volleyball court OR on the church lawn of the Sanctuary (where we have held the outdoor service).  Each person must remain 6-feet apart from each other and wear a mask.  If you're eating, it's okay to remove your mask but please keep your distance from other people.  All meetings are to be scheduled by calling the Church Office and leaving a message that is checked daily, OR by emailing ucoffice@unitedchurchla.org.  Tjett Gerdom will manage the meeting calendar, inform you about the availability of chairs for the church lawn, and answer any questions about the guidelines.  Again, social distancing and masks are required.

Church Office:  Limited Hours
The Church Office will be open from 9am - Noon on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  We ask that you call the church office (662-2971, posted on the door) before entering the building.  Masks must be worn at all times.  Some staff members will be working in their offices a few more days and hours throughout the week, along with working at home.  Again, calling the posted number before entering and wearing a mask are required.

Thank you for your attention to the necessary guidelines for outdoor meetings or entering the CE Building and Church Office.  Your support is greatly appreciated during this on-going public health crisis! We will continue to discuss other ways in which we can be more connected as a church congregation.  We pray that you and your family are well!

Grace and peace,
David


The United Church Thrift Store will be open every-other Wednesday,

from 8:30am to 12:30pm.  The next chance to shop will be November 4th! 

The Thrift Store is now accepting donations! 

Please leave your donations in the bins outside the shop.

WORSHIP central

While we are closed due to COVID-19 precautions, Sermon Central will become WORSHIP CENTRAL.  Our pastors and staff will still put on our worship services and we'll post them here on Sunday mornings! 


Did you miss our worship service this week?  Perhaps you were so moved by the pastor's sermon that you'd love to hear it again?  Want to share it with your friends and family that couldn't make it to church?  Well, you're in luck! 

We'll post last Sunday's sermon here so you can enjoy it again!
