As you all are aware, with the advent of the coronavirus, MSUB on March 16th shut down all in person classes and student activities on the campus. This included the work of student groups such as United Campus Ministry
We know this will continue in the summertime. MSUB is working in consultation with all the Montana campuses to come up with a plan that could allow students to return with some measure of safety this fall.
We do not know what procedures will need to be in place and if the coronavirus will cooperate in this effort. Our hope is that we can have personal meetings with students, even if there are limits to the kind of events we can host.
One of the last restrictions, as things open, will be holding large gatherings. In lieu of this, we are playing it by ear if we are going to be hosting our fall annual dinner or not. But we do know we will have a fall fundraiser, if not in person, then online.
In the time of coronavirus, it becomes doubly important to support the work of your local congregations and mission programs and yes UCM. The pastoral needs the virus presents, the need for community is all the greater.
