Reopening Survey Closing Tomorrow, Friday, at Noon
Our reopening task force has created a survey for the community to gauge everyone's comfort level with different circumstances regarding our return inside (which we hope to do upon completion of the asbestos abatement project in the sanctuary). We ask that everyone make every effort to fill out the survey so that we can best plan according to the needs of our community.
We recognize that there is a large diversity of perspectives within the community regarding protocols for resumption of in-person services, so the hope is that the survey will help us to understand the preferences of various subgroups. Please note that this survey is exploratory, and does not reflect any decisions about future protocols. The survey can be found here.

FEMA’s COVID-19 Funeral Assistance Program. Questions should be directed to FEMA’s COVID-19 Funeral Assistance Program. Line at 844-684-6333.
“The COVID-19 pandemic has been incredibly difficult for all Americans, but even more so for those who lost a loved one to the virus. The unexpected and sometimes sudden loss of a loved one has placed a heavy burden on many thousands of Americans.
FEMA is offering help through the establishment of the COVID-19 Funeral Assistance Program. This new program allows eligible funeral expenses to be reimbursed directly to the loved ones who incurred those expenses. Individuals who apply may receive up to $9,000 per funeral and a maximum of $35,500 for multiple funerals that occurred within the same state or territory. The sooner people with eligible expenses begin their application, the sooner they can receive their reimbursement.
