COVID Safety Guidelines

The RCZC Board has assembled a healthcare advisory team in response to the COVID pandemic. The team meets whenever the CDC issues new safety guidance, and updates our own guidelines accordingly. For the safety of all members of the sangha, we will continue to offer the Zoom option for programs whenever practical.

See our Weekly Schedule and Event pages to check which events can be attended in person.

Red Cedar Standard Event Covid Safety Guidelines

Our temporary physical zendo is at the Bellingham Unitarian Fellowship.
