What will going back to church look like after lock-downs?
When churches begin meeting again, will the hugs be
stifled? The conversations from 6 feet
away? It seems to me in many places they
will. Church fellowship is going to look
and feel VERY different for a while. The
church I serve worships in a fairly small space, where keeping 6 feet apart is
nearly impossible. We celebrate
communion every week – how do we do THAT?!
Lots to ponder in these days. One state proposes dismissing families one at a time after the service (page 3).
Some ideologically reject the restraint. We are the body of Christ. We must show love to one another physically
with hugs, handshakes, and so on.
We are
going to need more charity with each other, now more than ever. If half of your
church is willing to risk more germ spread to show love, and the other half
wants to strictly socially distance for a good while, how does that work??
Should church leaders set a policy, or let families do as
they believe best?
May the Lord give us wisdom in these times.
