“Celebrating Our History and What's New” 
Transitions Team and Rev. Fred Wooden
As we transition into the next phase of interim ministry, the Interim Ministry Transition Team will lead a celebration of Northwest’s history. Then, we’ll explore, What’s New?” Why, everything of course. That’s the problem; everything is different. How do we handle living a world where almost everything has changed?

“Should I Stay or Should I Go?” Rev. Peter Gabel
Why do people leave congregations? Let’s talk about the various reasons. Are there proper criteria to apply to this decision? What can congregations and individuals do to reduce these break-ups?

Sunday, August 28 @ 10:30 am 
“Adaptive Ministry” Cameron Young
When one strand of the web is broken, the entire web is prone to collapse. When we in UU spaces speak of our 7th principle, belief in the interdependent web of all existence, we are not merely speaking in metaphors. Our existences are intricately woven with all life. When violence, oppression, and marginalization occur elsewhere in the world we are consciously and unconsciously bound to it, and vice versa.

​Plate Collections

Shared Plate: Michigan Education Justice Coalition
Northwest shares 50% of the plate collections with a local 501c3 organization. Our shared plate collection recipient for August is the Michigan Education Justice Coalition. They are fighting to protect public schools and advocating for increased school funding, decolonized and culturally inclusive curriculums, student voice in leadership, and school budgets that reflect community values.

NWUU Gathering Guidelines

Gathering Size Limits
There will be no limit on gathering size while at the Low or Medium risk level according to the COVID ACT NOW website. While at the High risk level, there will be room capacity limits set and six feet of social distance between households will be advised. 

Vaccinations
Proof of vaccination will not be required; however, attendees will need to sign an affirmation of their vaccination status upon entering the building.  All attendees at an indoor gathering shall be fully vaccinated, with the exception of ineligible children. Fully vaccinated means that you are up to date with your COVID-19 vaccines according to the latest CDC Stay Up to Date Guidance. 

​​Testing (ages 6 months - 17 years old only)
Eligible but unvaccinated children aged 5-17 may attend gatherings provided they have received a negative COVID test result within 48 hours of attending.  In the interest of protecting the most vulnerable in the congregation, we ask that those children be masked and socially distanced from older congregants.
​Face Masks
Face masks will be optional while at the Low risk level. However, masks will still be required while singing. Parents and caregivers are advised to have unvaccinated children over the age of 2 wear masks.
​
Singing
Communal singing will be allowed while at the Low risk for those wearing a face mask. At Medium risk, the choir may perform for an audience, but there will be no communal singing. There will be no live indoor singing with an audience while above Medium risk.

Coffee Hour  
Food and drinks will be allowed at indoor gatherings when the Detroit metro region is at Low risk. Wearing face mask except when eating or drinking is still advised. 

Lifting of Safety Measures
All safety measures may be lifted when vaccination against COVID-19 has been available to all ages for a period of six weeks, OR when public health authorities have declared an official end to the pandemic.​​
