Covid Rules

The rules then came to church, leaving us in the lurch. No hymns to contribute, but comes a substitute as long sermon in place, lecture to fill the space. No hymns it seems so lame, making our worship tame. Preacher perched on pulpit, trying to raise spirit but with no hymns to sing 'tis a sad offering. The rules then came to church, leaving us in the lurch.

Hi Jan. Yes, the rules bizarre. I don't know where we are. Now I just muddle through and wonder what next to do. I loved the hymns at church; singing, rejoicing for this wonderful world that we are blessed with: All things bright and beautiful ..... Best wishes.

Hopefully Tony things will get better and rules will be relaxed. Tom

Yes, the Covid rules one day will go, but they surely change the way we go. Perhaps a warning that our crowded living and worldwide travel enables disease to spread. Tony.
