Our Masking Policy – March 5, 2023
As a response to the rise in Covid and other winter illnesses, we joined the CDC in encouraging the wearing of masks again this fall in congregate settings like our Sunday worship, especially among those with compromised immunity. We also have been covenanting together to wear masks when in the church office and when singing indoors in groups of more than 10.
On February 14, the Church Council voted to change this policy – effective Sunday, March 5, 2023 – to allow everyone to sing unmasked, as they choose. However, especially out of consideration for those who are elderly or struggling with compromised immunity, we encourage the wearing of masks whenever possible, to keep our whole community safe.
Please do not attend worship if you are showing any sign of illness and take a home Covid test if you feel sick. Most vaccinated folks with Covid are reporting only mild cold symptoms at first. No one wants us to have to cancel worship again, so we thank you for understanding.
Our church Covid quarantine policy is to follow CDC guidelines. A simple way to remember that is 5+5. Covid positive individuals should quarantine for at least 5 days, followed by 5 days of masking around others at home and in public.
Some Special Notes:
- We require masks for group singing indoors.
- Movable chairs for greater social distancing are available in the Balcony and in Brooks Hall.
- While we want to be able to see everyone, we ask that anyone who is feeling ill or experiencing any Covid symptoms stays home from worship and worships with us via live stream or recording. Also, if you fear you may have been exposed to someone with Covid in the past week, or are awaiting test results, please take advantage of our live streaming.
Please be in touch with our Church Office at 203-775-1259 or office@uccb.org if you have any questions.

Sharing to Build, Building to Share…
See the New Vision for Fellowship Hall!
Because we are CCB, we have fun whenever we gather! Even as we worship each week in our historic Meetinghouse, fellowship is at the very heart of our church life and we believe Fellowship Hall should be accessible to all. We invite you to contribute as generously as you can and help us extend God's extravagant welcome to everyone, "no matter who we are or where we are on life's journey." Whether we walk or roll, we seek to follow Jesus together!
