However, First Church buildings and grounds are closed until September. For information about small indoor memorial services, contact our ministers.

The COVID Re-Open Team continues to monitor the level of COVID in Milwaukee County for us. On a weekly basis, we will post the re-open status in numerous places including: these e-nnouncements, the website, Instagram, Facebook page.

This status is based on the COVID incidence rate in our policy for re-opening. For info about our policy and precautions, see the church website at https://uumilwaukee.org/category/covid-19/.
EXTRA CHEST FREEZER FOR THE INTERCHANGE FOOD PANTRY? Happy Summer! Warm weather has arrived, but our Interchange Food Pantry is asking you to think cold!

COVID CANDLE ON SUNDAYS. Because of the ways our lives are touched by loss and grief during the global pandemic, we have a simple ritual during Sunday worship called the “COVID Candle” when it is needed. During this unique time, when people cannot gather with their family and community to mourn, we offer to light the COVID Candle for any death of a loved one of one of our members. If you have had a loved one die from COVID-19, or any other cause of death, and would like the COVID Candle lit in their honor during Sunday worship, please contact one of the Ministers.
