| Jesus our Healer, have mercy on us. |
Just a short devotional at this time. The day has turned out to be busier than I expected.
Regarding the reopening of the churches, the Province of Ontario has okayed it but has not given many specific requirements beyond permitting 30% of the congregation to be present, maintaining social distancing in the building, and the forbidding of singing in worship. Our Synodical bishop has recommended that our churches stay closed until Labour Day at the earliest. St. John's church council has not made a decision as yet (they have the final say), and I as pastor feel we should follow the bishop's recommendation. Our bishop can recommend but he cannot require us to do so; that's not how the structure of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada is set up. Time will tell and we'll keep you informed.
Until then, keep this in mind...
