As the One Year Anniversary of the Pandemic Approaches . . .

. . . what have you learned about doing church? Around March 15th – the Ides of March – will be the one year anniversary of the response congregations were forced to make to the COVID-19 induced pandemic. One of the things that have been of great value to many congregational leaders is to learn how other congregations have responded to the pandemic. One of the best ways to do this is to share with our family of congregations your answers to four questions so that others might benefit from your observations. This is your power to bless others.
