FIRST UNITARIAN SOCIETY OF WESTCHESTER |
|
In response to rapidly rising COVID-19 cases in Westchester, and with love and concern for the most vulnerable among us, FUSW worship services will continue to be ONLINE ONLY through August. The Board and others will look for ways to have outdoor, in-person social gatherings at FUSW and elsewhere when possible.
This Sunday’s worship is shared ONLINE ONLY

“When Your Village Loves You”
Nora Mulligan, UUCHV Member and Board President
Service live-streamed on YouTube from the UU Congregation of the Hudson Valley, our summer worship partners.
From disappearing library books, to Witness, to It’s a Wonderful Life, when you trust your community to be there for you, it can save your life – and your faith.

FUSW Contacts & Information
Questions, Concerns, or Compliments for FUSW? Reach out to any member of our Board of Trustees, fusw.org/board-of-trustees (place cursor over picture, then right-mouse click to copy email).
The Board of Trustees usually meets on the third Tuesday of each month. Meetings begin at 7:30pm. We are currently meeting online. Meetings are open to any member of FUSW. If the Board enters into executive session to discuss personnel or confidential matters, non-Board will be asked to leave for that portion of the meeting. At the end of the meeting there will be an open forum, moderated by the President, during which non-Board members can speak about topics of concern. We ask that you limit your remarks to two minutes. This forum will last from five to ten minutes, depending on the Board agenda. Please contact any Board member if you have questions or comments. To access the minutes from previous meetings, visit the Members page of fusw.org and click on Board Minutes Archive. Click here to join our meeting on Zoom.
