Frequent Asked Questions (FAQ)
What’s the current COVID-19 status?
Updated 11-15-22: At this time, masks are now optional in our sanctuary. While making your decision to wear or not wear a mask, we ask that you follow the best practices guidelines; in other words, if you are feeling under the weather, if you may have been exposed to someone who is ill, or if you may suspect you’ve been exposed, please stay home, wear a mask, or join us online.
Please reach out to any Board member with questions or email BOT@uutarpon.org.
What if I’m not ready to return to in-person gatherings?
Because so many of us are at high risk, we must continue to remain cautious as the virus continues to be present in the community around us. Realizing not all our members will be able to attend in person for health or other reasons, UUCTS will continue to provide options for remote attendance even after in-person meetings resume.
What if someone who attended a church event tests positive for COVID?
In the event any person who has attended a UUCTS service or event tests positive for the COVID 19 virus, they are strongly encouraged to notify the minister or any member of the Board of Trustees. If that person so agrees, others who may have had recent contact with that identified person will be notified. Those others will be encouraged to obtain the appropriate testing and to take quarantine action if necessary. If the person testing positive wishes that their identity remains confidential, the Board of Trustees will notify all people who may have had contact with them. Notification will state that an “undisclosed church party” has tested positive for the COVID 19 virus and that the notified party should consider being tested and/or quarantine as necessary.

What should I know about Zoom?
Our church is using the ZOOM application to video conference, chat, and share critical information. We encourage everyone to get familiar with how to use ZOOM. You won’t need to pay any fees or even sign up for an account in order to participate in meetings. You can use any device that has access to the internet such as a smartphone, personal computer, or tablet. It is also possible to participate by phone only. Please send us a note if you need assistance setting-up zoom so that we can support you.
Where can I get the Zoom meeting links?
We use the same meeting ID and password for all UUCTS hosted meetings unless otherwise designated.
This one-click link takes you right to your main UUCTS zoom line from any smart device such as a computer, tablet, or smart phone.
