is your Church still having Services, Dinners, Other?

 

99 percent of the ones in our town are closed.  one friend that goes to one with a congregation of 20 is still having services and even had a dinner this week.

 

I dont feel that is a very good idea!!

 

Some are doing Online Stream of Services which is so good.

Our cathedral is open for the time being but no services are being held.  I think our local Catholic Charities is handing out sandwiches or bags of food but no sit down dinners like they usually do.

All activities at my church have been canceled. We have had streaming services for years and that will be available. We can contact the church if we need to and we are asked to let them know if we or someone we know needs any help. Visitations will be done by phone.

My church had Masses last Sunday; attendance was optional.

While the church may be open for individual prayer, no social gathering are permitted in this area. I assume funerals are still being held, with social distancing in place.

Eveything cancelled at my parish. The Archbishop suspended all masses and gatherings. All weddings postponed. A very small private funeral is ok. A few churches still having fish fries but carry out only. Most places of worship have shut down per our governor’s request.

Our church is streaming services, making lunches for school children and having a daily message.  The only way to see anything is on facebook.  I have an account but have never friended anyone, don't follow anyone so my access is limited.

 

For those with out facebook are out of luck...they used to send out emails but I guess that is old fashioned anymore...facebook is where it's at...grrr.

The Diocese cancelled Mass and all church classes, functions and activities. I will watch Mass on TV tomorrow.

My church canceled everything except a Sunday morning service last week, but mid-week this week decided to Live-Stream Sunday morning services.  I would say 99% of the congregation is in the high risk age group depending on what age is considered high risk.

 

We also have a college church that uses our facilities and they started Live-Streaming last week since most of their congregtion got sent home.
