​WHEN?

When will spring come - will it be a long drawn-out end to winter or suddenly be spring with blooming daffodils and forsythia!  Personally, I'm hoping for an early spring so I can start working in my garden.

The day, too, will come when we can return to our church building.  I wonder how many people will return to worship.  Like many who read this, I miss gathering with our church family and singing together to Lynn's playing.  However, personally, during the winter months, I was more than glad to not have to put on a coat, boots and gloves, clean the car and clear the driveway to go to church.  

Thankfully, we have a Covid-19 Team who have been researching the latest information on the rules regarding gathering.  While the Premier says we can gather, he doesn't outline all the steps required regarding sanitizing, spacing, entering and leaving, cleaning of bathrooms between uses - or tell us who will do all that.  Only one person and they in their 80s volunteered when we asked for volunteers to enable us to open.

So, for the foreseeable future while Covid-19 exists, we remain closed.  Remember - a person who has received the Covid-19 vaccination can still catch Covid-19 (but just not be as sick as they might have been without the vaccine) and can still spread it to others.  I, for one, would not want to see any one of our members becoming sick or worse dying because we gathered together too soon.

God bless,
