I am in my 2nd Kleenex box deep into a winter cold. Tis’ the season. This past Sunday, we didn’t go to church because I felt like I needed to keep my youngest son home since he already had the sniffles. Church attendance is often down in the wintertime because of us sick folks and those that wish to not be around those that bring their germs anyway. How do you handle the practicality of something like winter flu and cold germs?
Over the Christmas holidays, I went to a lunch program at my hometown church. It was a great offering of Christmas music in the Sanctuary followed by soup and sandwiches in the Fellowship Hall. This church, much like many of you, has just completed a large renovation project. I viewed the new workout facility, Sunday School classes, and DVD offerings in the updated library. The thing that caught my attention the most was hand sanitizer machines placed beside elevators and large gathering entrances. I thought it made complete sense. They were subtle yet appropriate enough. This was a great idea and addition to the facilities. Prior to lunch, I even tested them out.
May we continue to worship, but may we try to stay well also. For those that make church their first outing after being stuck inside sick, may they please cleanse their hands.
