I went to the church this evening that I attended about 12 years ago when my children were little. Instead of the traditional pagent remembering our Savior’s birth, there were readings by family members and paper mache figures of the characters that the children would have played “pre-pandemic”. That wasn’t the worst part though. There was a special prayer insert that asked Jesus to be in our hearts although we recognized His presence in the sacraments, but could not partake this year due to the new variant. In other words, we skipped over half of the planned service due to fear!? Of course, with masks, and every third pew was roped off for distancing. The bulletins had already been printed, so this was obviously a late decision. If Jesus walked in the sanctuary tonight, do you think he would be okay with that? The fruit of the Spirit is NOT fear.. Get behind us Satan and let our King reign forever!
