Sunday morning services are going strong. Things have changed, and for some that’s difficult to accept. We have live music with the harp, but much of the music is still recorded. We are not supposed to sing out loud, but I occasionally hear humming and am thankful. I take that as a good sign, we are being safe, and still engaging in worship. It’s difficult to ignore some of the changes, e.g., no wine with communion, even fully knowing Christ is present in both, or either, element. Still i hope we all can focus on our personal worship and minimize the distraction of the changes. We rely on tradition without realizing all of our, “long standing traditions,” at some time were practiced for a first time so were unfamiliar. I suggest we take these changes in stride, remembering some are temporary.
It’s easy to see the involvement in those attending in person. I hope those of you joining us through ZOOM are receiving as much nourishment, and I’m talking spiritually, not necessarily coffee hour, as those attending.
