They went indoors for one service, then called it off as the case numbers spiked again. We're back to online. I would hope that most churches do the same out of consideration for their members safety, but i know it won't be the case. There are, unfortunately, still people that think the coronavirus is overstated. We have moved from outside to renting an old mall department store that’s 75,000 square feet and requiring masks and 6+ feet of social distancing, and I’m not sure how it’s going to go yet. To be fair, it’s much more stringent than the school that I teach in with 20+ kids per class wearing masks but unable to distance them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not too surprised, they are the ones who will have by far the biggest bills compared to the smaller churches, and no people in the pews no bucks in the collection plate. And they lose their production value going online, versus smaller churches where people don't expect them to be perfect. I was going to comment that around here, most of the smaller churches did the outdoor services and then have gone back online, even in the rural areas. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No coincidence. You stopped doing them because the mol was going down while there was clear, uncontrolled spread, proving a disconnect in the way your figure was calculated 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's probably not a totally conscient thought on their part, but i'm sure the money aspect is weighing into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadpulse Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 I want to preface this by saying I am looking for an actual discourse. Can someone who plans on NOT getting the vaccine when it's released explain to me why they came to that decision? I was reading about a poll that said about 20% of Americans think it was rushed and unsafe and another 20% just wanted to wait for to make sure it was safe. My stance is that if Fauci, science, and the experts trust it then why shouldn't I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramssuperbowl99 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Joe Biden asking the country to wear masks for his first 100 days in office is another sign that "normal" is going to come back around summer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My hunch is they are not collecting monetary donations with online services Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
