It has been quite a while since I have written to you. Even a little mouse, such as myself, has had so much to deal with since covid-19 has emerged and caused so many changes here at St. Abrahams; as well as throughout the rest of the world. We had to close the church last March, as most other churches did but we were happy to be able to have worship services outside at the pavilion during part of the summer months. Last August we were able to come back inside and worship as long as we followed the procedures enacted by the State of Maryland and the Del-MD Synod; this includes everyone wearing a mask, communion is served via individual communion cups, spacing of seating and the fans running and doors open to achieve maximin air flow. All areas are disinfected after each service. We are fortunate to have a loving, dedicated church family that has picked up these extra duties and made it possible to be able to worship together through the pandemic. Of course, not everyone has been able to come back to church yet due to health concerns; but more people are getting vaccinated and we expect to see them again as soon as they are cleared by their health professionals and as they feel comfortable leaving their homes for worship services.
