Following the exuberant Congregational Meeting to call Reverend Brett, the Board got down to business and held a Finance Forum on Sunday, February 13th. The goal was to connect with ERUUFians about where we are financially, how we have both thrived and struggled in the face of many challenges, and to discuss how to move into the vision of possibilities that lay before us. What does it look like to move out of this pandemic-era contraction and into a time of growth? Slides from the presentation are available by clicking this link, and we encourage all members and friends to review them.

The percentage of positive covid test results continues to decline rapidly in Durham County, and this week stands at 9% (down from 15% a week ago). We are following both numbers and new research information, and we will relax our reopening policies as soon as possible, after consulting with our public health safety team. That said, we are hopeful to be able to safely welcome people back to the Sanctuary in just a couple of weeks. Children's classes remain scheduled outdoors but do have the option to move indoors if the weather is harsh (or in the case of OWL the class needs to be indoors).
