The War on Christ.

Stop the home churches, reduce the organized church to a department of the state.

Love to see this enforced at a post-funeral family gathering.

49 would be a bit large for a home church. Where would everyone park?
I’m not sure what they are fighting but if it is illegals, a federal judge will overrule it.

that's is exactly what is at stake here... up until 2-years ago, i lived in the Central Valley in California... we had a 1.5 acre property... we are homeschoolers, and we belonged to a co-op... we would have anywhere from 3-5 families in our co-op any given year... we built a detached classroom and an additional office/classroom on our property... our co-op would meet two days a week... so for 8-10 weeks out of the year, we would assemble at our home (each family hosted the co-op for one quarter)... plus we led a small group which met once a week... and i led a reading group that met weekly in our home... and every so often i would host a homeschooling mothers evening in our home... and from time-to-time i would hold educational workshops on our property... our property was big enough so that no one would park on the street... we lived in a large cul-de-sac with only seven homes where most residence kept farmer/rancher hours and were gone while our schooling took place... it was a perfect setting for our lifestyle at that time in our lives... not this particular law, but laws like the one proposed would hinder our freedom to do what we did...

Yes, likely, and I must say I am somewhat sympathetic to the intent.

I live in a very nice, quiet neighborhood. Every few weeks or so, middle of the week, the Mormons across the street host an event. I am talking about an event that has dozens of people show up in dozens of cars. Parking is completely taken over by the visitors. This on a street (cul-de-sac) of 21 homes. Many times the visitors park in front of driveways and block them. Noise is tolerable but trying to drive in and out of the neighborhood is downright impossible due to jammed parking on both sides of the street, and if you do have to leave, don’t expect to find a parking place anywhere near your home when you return. Because we don’t have any side streets off of our street (fields on both sides), and the road our street joins is a divided roadway with no parking, you are forced to park about a third of a mile away at the Walgreens parking lot and walk back on the busy street (or walk in the thistle and weeds—no sidewalk).
The Mormons are always nice about moving when approached to let you out of your own driveway, but come on. . .
