Like many other ministries, the pandemic has disrupted the lives of many church members. Across the nation, consistent churchgoers of all ages have resisted attending regular worship even though communities have reopened. While some parishes are disregarding local state guidelines, perhaps your church congregation is among the countless others that are committed to creating a safe environment for your members to worship. Fear and acclimating to the ease of worshipping at home are just a few reasons people have chosen not to attend in-person services. However, despite these issues, church members and leaders are eager to reconnect and welcome back one another.
