For the duration of Social Distancing due to Coronavirus, all Frederick CUUPS offerings are moving online! As the COVID-19 Pandemic continues to impact our ability to gather in person, we are offering a dense programming schedule for the summer months. This situation is challenging, scary and unpredictable, but we do not need to walk through this upheaval alone. If you have an internet connection, or even just a phone, you can stay connected to community.
We are hosting a minimum of two gatherings each week. All online gatherings welcome donations but do not require them. What we most wish is to keep each other connected, safe, sane, and loved during this time. Please feel free to attend any or all of our offerings whether you can make a donation or not.
All our offerings are open to everyone, not just members of the Frederick CUUPS community. All times listed are in Eastern.
We are using Zoom, a video conferencing platform.
