My wife's church disbanded due to how they handled the COVID fiasco. For months, they held "remote services" over the Internet in a ZOOM call. Then when finally back to church, everybody had to be fully masked and had to maintain "social distancing" in the pews. Most people never returned.

My wife actually got yelled at and lectured for not having her mask already on when she got out of her car in the parking lot. Final straw was when the pastor urged the entire congregatation to get fully vaxxed and boosted.

People had enough, including my wife, and stopped going altogether. Eventually, the church had to close down and today there is a "for lease" sign on the building.

May I ask: what denomination, and where?

How absurd!

Our church did the internet services (but, had already had that tech in place, before china virus), held outdoor services, for a while.....then, fully re-opened, and, the silly masks were optional.

NEVER any mention of the horrid $hots, thankfully.

It's very sad to hear stories like yours. It grieves me to see churches closed down due to their capitulation to the Covid narrative. I honestly haven't been back to a church just because it's nearly impossible to find one that didn't in some way give in to the government or is still mandating vaccines or social distancing. It's only due to the encouragement that I receive in places like Free Republic that I'm able to keep going.

See my tagline.
