I think it was Friday night when our bishop posted that the COVID cases are high in the ward and advised members who had/have symptoms to stay home. I thought that church was cancelled but learned that I had misread. Still, I wondered why it hadn’t been cancelled all together. Our numbers were few.
I counted 36 people in the chapel and
perhaps 20 more in the overflow – I don’t know why the accordion doors hadn’t
been closed so that those who chose to sit that far back wouldn’t have the
option. It isn’t as though there were
any screaming youth to take out. In
fact, there were only six youth in total.
Only two of them were primary age.
Roland had been called to teach Sunday
School for the youth ages 12-14 but ended up with both classes making his class
total a grand total of all four youth that had come to church yesterday. It was definitely an interesting Sunday. I hope there were more who had chosen to
attend virtually. I don’t think I have
ever seen our numbers down quite that low – though the pandemic has put a
strain on attendance. Even the
missionaries are in quarantine right now.
