Coronavirus: Caring for Ourselves and Each Other

Published: Mar 05, 2020 Mar 05, 2020

We know that coronavirus is on everyone's mind and we want to share the plans we've put in place at ERUUF to help contain its spread. ERUUF's lay leaders, ministers and staff are here.  We plan to offer services, classes and other programs as usual, unless we're advised otherwise by health officials.  We encourage you to contact us if you have any questions, concerns or needs.  Truly, it can help just to talk to someone if this health crisis (or anything else that's going on) is making you uncomfortable.
