Accessibility

Capital Campaign Construction Update:

With great rejoicing, we announce the attainment of our official building permit, marking a significant step forward in our journey toward full accessibility. We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to come together in worship and community. We understand that our current accessibility presents a challenge for some of our congregation members, and we want to assure you that we are actively working to make improvements. Inclusivity is at the heart of our values, and we are committed to ensuring that our church is a place where everyone feels welcome and valued.

We are committed to keeping our community informed about the progress of our renovation project. Regular updates will be provided here on our website, through The Anvil emails and social media channels. We want you to be part of this journey with us as we work toward a more inclusive and welcoming environment.

Zoom Captions

Automatically generated captions are available for our service. If you do not see captions on your screen and would like to turn the captions on, please click the “CC Live Transcript” button, or select “Show Subtitles” under your “…More” options. If you see captions and would prefer not to see them, please select the “CC Live Transcript” icon and select “Hide Subtitles.” If you use the captions, please let us know your experience by emailing AIM@secondunitarian.org.

Hearing Devices

If you are attending service in person at 2U, noise-canceling headphones for both adults and children are now available for use for services or events. The headphones are earmuff style and will be kept behind the tech table in the sanctuary. Individually-wrapped wipes are available next to the headphones to clean before and after each use. Assisted hearing devices are also available to use during service. Please see our tech team in the back of the Sanctuary for more information. Email AIM@secondunitarian.org if you or someone you know would benefit from a braille copy of the Singing the Living Tradition hymnal.

Sensitivities

We have members in our community who are sensitive to strong fragrances, and we want to ensure that everyone can worship and participate comfortably in our shared spaces. We kindly request that you refrain from using heavy colognes and perfumes when attending our services and gatherings. Your cooperation in this matter will help create a more inclusive and welcoming environment for all. Thank you for your understanding and consideration!

Do you have concerns or ideas about improving access and inclusion for people with disabilities at 2U? Would you like to be involved in the work of AIM?
