Back to church?

[vg7405]

The church I usually attend is 100% closed until further notice. In the meantime, I am attending a church where the services are streamed on Facebook.

[tantricia44]

Even if the churches open again, I don't plan to go back to church. It's more convent to watch church service on line.

They announced plans to safely go back, but it's optional. I miss church, but I'm still not comfortable going back just yet. Feels too soon.

I think some churches are open, but there are others who refuse to stop going to church.  I think it is too soon to open some churches and businesses.

The TRUE God will announce this.I will gladly post when HE does.As of now NO for congregating where virus is.

Our church is still closed, but we all just took a survey on when and how to reopen.  Our governing body will give the guidelines, but we have some say in when we all go back.  My Sunday School class has been using Zoom, but they decided to start meeting at the local park.  They were even going to bring food.  One of the leaders said that we would probably want to be hugging each other, and this leader expressed her opinion that this would be fine.  I'm not ready for any of that yet.  I felt safe with Zoom meetings.  My husband's cousin expressed that she is not going to live her life in fear.  I say, I'm not living my life in fear, I'm living it in safety.  She did not follow the journey of a personal friend who is still struggling after 40 days in the hospital, and who's doctors named him Lazarus because he should not be alive today!

The Lazarus story in the bible is quite interesting.He was dead a few days when Jesus went to resurrect him.

Note that when Lazarus was alive again he spoke of NO heavenly bliss or hellfire.

Backs up Eccl 9:5 that the dead are conscious of nothing.He woulda thanked Jesus from rescuing him from hell,or cursed him taking him outta heaven.

He was asleep and non-existent.

Our churches reopened to limited capacity two weeks ago on Pentecost Sunday. We have to sign up in advance to reserve a spot and they have only designated pews available for seating to maintain distancing. All occupied pews are then cleaned and sanitized afterward by staff and churchgoers can only enter and exit the building through one designated doorway. They are encouraging elderly parishioners to remain at home and they are still regularly streaming Masses through their Facebook and YouTube pages.

Ours has now announced that they're opening at the end of the month for worship but that there will still be no in-person sunday school group meetings, we will continue to do that on zoom.

Churchgoers, what's the current situation with yours? Are they opening and are you planning to go back as soon as they do? Mine is starting to try to make the decision when to open. I bet a lot of people will still want to worship from home for a while even after services resume.

Hi!

I hope it opens soon for you all. I personally don't go because I believe church is where your heart is.

[tantricia44]

I haven't gone since forever & don't plan to start even if they do reopen. This virus is just to tricky!

[braggin]

I am not a churchgoer, so I don't know what is going on in my community with that. I do hope that the ones that open up  require their parishioners to wear masks and that they only allow enough people into the services that 6 feet of space can be guaranteed for each person.

Some of the churches here are open but at a limited capacity.
