Thank you Peter. Our next Workday is planned for Saturday, November 2nd! As we continue to restore and prepare to lift the house, school, and chapel above the 1,00 year flood stage our next workday will be plastering and cleaning. Anyone who can help, please DM @susanwasilewsk9

They eliminated handshaking at the UU congregation I attended Sunday. What about yours? Coronavirus: Archdiocese of Boston removing handshake from sign of peace amid virus concernshttps://www.wsbtv.com/news/trending/coronavirus-archdiocese-boston-removing-handshake-sign-peace-amid-virus-concerns/HY2USCLBSRHMTGILG3XWPW2GFY/ …
Prior to last year, we had "joining of the hands" & "greeting/shaking of hands. With the arrival of our Interim Minister, we changed some of the components of service to improve & shorten (to keep on time) thus we did away with both customs. Appropriate perhaps now with COVID-19
We elbow-bumped...I think I would have preferred bowing to one another, Namaste-style.

We had 100+ computers/phones logged on Zoom. And since quite a few were couples, the number of attendees was likely 120+. Despite some technology glitches, it went very well. (And unlike the Vicar in that church in England, our minister didn’t accidentally set herself on fire.)
