The COVID pandemic hit the Church hard. Restrictions and responses varied across our country and world, but in many places, people weren’t allowed to meet at all. Thankfully, restrictions have lifted and life is back closer to normal, but effects on Church attendance will be felt for years. If nothing else, people were given a good excuse not to go to Church, and as Pastor Terry will remind us in today’s message, meeting together is crucial for our spiritual health as individuals and as a group.
