Returning to Church

It has been four months since our church congregation has been permitted to convene. Yesterday was the big day and I thought it was really special. The church had to follow the rules of the CDC (Center for the Disease Prevention), so there were many volunteers who helped get the building ready and rehearsed their part for ushering. Those who wanted to attend had to RSVP. They were told they must wear masks.

Ushers brought the congregants in a little at a time, spacing them appropriately. They seated them from the front pew to the back. I watched them from where I was seated in the choir loft.

Speaking of choir, we began meeting about three weeks ago on our regular Thursday night time. We rehearsed for a half hour and then performed our part of the service to be used for the Sunday online service. This Sunday we were finally able to be in our choir loft and sing praises in the presence of the congregation. It was glorious!
