[Worship] Standard Worship Announcement - Is this helpful?

Thu Aug 6 14:16:05 CDT 2020

I was involved with the task force report and it is clear that based on 
the guidelines no one should be meeting in the church, and perhaps the 
court yard right now.  The government also has some guidelines for 
meetings that say less then 10 people, but the task force overlooked 
that for the funeral.  It's difficult because people are anxious to get 
back to "normal" but if we do it too soon the outcome will be something 
we might not be able to live with.  The real question seems to be "How 
do people participate if they don't use a computer or a mobile phone?".  
How many people does that apply to?  If we can cover that base then all 
should be well.  Maybe someone could loan a phone to someone while they 
sit in the court yard so that person can listen and watch the meeting.  
Just a thought.  Annie
