I have been able to go back to the church i was attending before Covid19  but with some restrictions. I like seeing people face to face even at 6 feet.  I too pray everyday

Same here - I pray every day especially at night as I am preparing to go to sleep and I read scripture every day including a little daily devotional and a scripture of the day that comes in my e-mail.

I wake up in the middle of the night and pray. We live in a scary crazy world.

Yes, I pray before bed as well Countrygirl.

Me too.  I was just saying lately I wake up in the middle of the night and I usually start praying.

We do not have any restrictions. If you want to wear a mask you can. If you do not then it is not a big deal. Some people do and some people don't.  We just recently started streaming services online if anybody wants to watch it. Most people are just coming to church.

But if they want to attend they should be allowed to do so.  It should be their choice. It most likely would not have to be said but if people are sick at all they need to stay home.  We have had a couple who have stayed home because they did not feel well. But nobody in our church has had cov. We have had a few cases in my county but over all our numbers are pretty low.

Our service has not started back yet but like most people we stream.  Not fully satisfying but something is better than nothing.

Yeah It's a whole lot safer as well. Streaming is like being at church.

Our church has been closed for a few months, but we have services, bible studies, zoom meetings etc on line daily.  We also put them up so that anyone can go and look at them anytime.  I see where serveral pastors n other areas have come down with corona virus because they said they did not need to wear masks or follow any safety procedures.  I feel sorry for their congregations.

We have three Catholic churches in town and share the same three priests between them. They did a live-streamed Mass online each week going back to March when everything shut down. We started having Sunday Masses open to the public a few months ago, but they still encourage those who are elderly or more susceptible to COVID to stay at home. The bishop has given dispensation to the Sunday obligation to any who are uncomfortable attending and they continue to live stream one Mass each weekend for those who choose to stay home.


I do a men's bible study on Saturday mornings that was live streamed through Google Meet to allow full two-way communication and participation. We just started meeting again in person last Saturday - with the option to still participate remotely.


I have nothing against those who say that they pray alone at home, but IMO faith is something that is meant to be shared communally. Your faith is not just a vertical relationship between you and God, but also is a horizontal relationship between you and the other church members. In that way - think of it in the shape of the cross.  +

There are 144000 people that will go to heaven and rule the earth with Jesus after they pass away on earth.Rev 14.......after Armagheddon and Satan and his angels are abyssed and wicked are gone beginning the 1000 yr rule of Jesus from heaven with those taken from earth to usher in a rule from God.A resurrection of righteous and unrighteous people that have passed away in ignorance to know the truth.Ex...the evildoer that passed away next to Jesus as 1 example.Satan will be loosed after the 1000 yrs and still will bring many down as the sands of the sea says bible.And then it will be over as he and his followers will be put into oblivion forever and Gods rule will be endless and the earth will be a paradise and have righteous ruling from heaven as The Lords Prayer supports.

There are many left still on earth and make up the governing body of Jehovahs organization.

As i have put up many times on FC their preaching work and meetings in person have stopped.They do everything online now and U can bet the governing body gets their command from God to feed his people spiritually this way for safety reasons.

It is quite organized and another reason to see that Jehovah is God and Jesus is his begotten son and they take care of their flocks.
