Church and the Coronavirus
Worship Online
Worship is available live on Sundays 10:30AM at our Facebook page. You do not need a Facebook account to view the service, however you do need one to interact with the worship leaders and each other online. You can access that Sunday’s service anytime after it ends, right there on the BVUC Facebook page; you can scroll down the page to see past services and other posts. Our most recent service can also be found on the homepage this website.
In addition, Andover TV is now rebroadcasting our worship services on their public channel (Verizon 47, Comcast 8) on the following Saturday at 2:00 PM and Sunday 1:00 PM (times subject to to change).
Worship in Person
Please worship from home and do not come to the church building if you are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms (see below), have recently tested positive, or have been recently exposed to someone with COVID-19.
Currently, wearing masks is not required for church activities, including worship. People may choose to mask at any time.
If you choose to come to the sanctuary to worship in person, we ask for name and contact information in the unlikely event that contact tracing is needed. In addition, offerings are placed in the plate upon entry or can be made online.

- have had “close contact” with an individual diagnosed with COVID-19. “Close contact” means living in the same household as a person who has tested positive for COVID-19, caring for a person who has tested positive for COVID19, being within 6 feet of a person who has tested positive for COVID-19 for 15 minutes or more, or coming in direct contact with secretions (e.g., sharing utensils, being coughed on) from a person who has tested positive for COVID-19, while that person was symptomatic; or
