Antsy

[FaithT]

How many here are like me and are antsy to get back to church in person? Anybody here have their services in person? If so, how do you do this with the guidelines? And if you are worshipping in person, have you noticed an increase in Covid cases?

I am excited to.

No, they are not doing live services, but one can come to church on Sunday mornings to pray. Keep 10 feet apart at all times.

And if you are worshiping in person, have you noticed an increase in Covid cases?

Cases are decreasing in my area, we are starting to reopen things, thankfully. The Bishop advises to refrain from live services until mid June.

Our city and county are reducing restrictions May 18. Don’t know about church. I don’t know how the church could open because of the social distancing, unless they remove many chairs and limit the number of people in. I would think that would cause a problem, assuming lots of people line up to get in the doors, then some are turned away.

Yesterday, Cinco De Mayo, our closest Mexican restaurant had cars lined up in a long line for curb service. I read that some people didn’t want to wait and were yelling at the restaurant employees. Others really got mad when, after waiting in line, they were told they were out of food and got turned away.

I just emailed someone from my church about reopening. He said that decisions are still in the process of being made.

Churches here can still gather with 10 or less people and 6ft apart. It is likely they are going to change the size limit to gatherings to 50 in the next week or so. Our services usually have between 75-200 people....the sanctuary can sit around 500 full, so if they space out the distance should be maintainable. That said, they are not going to go live until our Bishop recommends it, which should be mid June.

I’m antsy but part of me is scared to go back when they reopen. I don’t want to catch anything.

My parish is remaining closed through May. We are doing a drive-thru Communion service this Sunday. Not sure how I feel about it, but better than at home.

I still have gotten no word as to when our church will reopen, but many things are going to reopen on the 18th here.
