Union Church of LA Covid-19 Protocol - Updated 3.31.22
Check-In
We are no longer requiring registration for in-person services, and we have reduced our health screening for entering the building.
Attendees/guests are no longer required to have their temperature checked at the door, nor do they need to sign in.
If any person is experiencing symptoms or if they have come in contact with someone who was positive with COVID19, then Union Church reserves the right to not allow the person inside.
Seating
All seating is available for everybody with some limited restrictions.
Certain seats will be left intestinally empty, so attendees do not block the cameras.
Attendees are encouraged to maintain a social and safe distance from other guests while seating in the sanctuary.
Worship Service
This is for those in attendance for the worship session:
While indoors, attendees are not required to wear masks [in accordance with the Los Angeles Mask Mandate], though Union Church is heavily recommending that people continue to wear masks indoors.
Attendees are allowed to sing freely, stand and move during worship.
Communion will not be performed intinction style (dipping bread into juice) yet, and instead, single-use cups will be provided containing a wafer and juice. Distribution of elements is allowed for participants as well.

Since Union Church is located on the border of Skid Row, unhoused people frequent the sidewalks and areas around the church. They often enter the church yard or pitch a tent outside our fenced area. As the Session, we are having discussions on keeping our church property clean and presentable while also trying to understand the larger housing issue and how we are called to address this issue through our faith. We are inviting you to bring ideas or come join the discussion of the Missions Committee on how to be compassionate to our neighbors while keeping our Church safe. Please reach out to Vessie, Kevin, Jose or Roger, or write to us using the Connect form on our church website.

Eighteen month update
(Nine months in hospitals, nine months at home)
Yep, a year and a half. We've come a long way, baby! When I think about where we were and where we are now, I am amazed at the progress and oh, so grateful for every small step. "Praise God from who all blessings flow..." 
♡ Home health is ending this week. We are both sad to say goodbye to in-home therapy, especially the speech therapist. BUT...that means outpatient rehab begins next! I am certain that will be a little scary, but it is definitely a step in the right direction (pun intended). It is time to remind his body what it can do. We will probably start with once or maybe twice a week. His speech has improved so much and his voice is getting stronger. There are still gaps in his memory, but they ebb and flow, and he is very emotional. 
♡ We haven't had a caregiver for 7 weeks now. I am having a very difficult time finding someone, which I hear, is quite common these days. It makes life very difficult though - no errand runs of any kind. I have been relying on the kindness of a handful of saints. 
♡ Finally, mom is going back home this weekend.  Adella has been here for almost 3 months and is the best encourager and helper I could ask for. I'm going to greatly miss our singing "trio" and late night talks. And hugs. If you know Sister Stafford, definitely her hugs.
Thank you for the continued prayers and please keep 'em coming!
