Celebrate Pentecost Day!!

[Bob Leone 1,977]

Acts 4:19 "But Peter and John answered and said to them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you more than to God, you judge."

This Sunday has special meaning to me. We are holding church service. President Trump says that we can. Governor Newsome says we can. But our county has forbidden it. 

We will be following all of the CDC recommendations to protect our people.

What?  Our country has forbidden it?  I don't understand.  Can you please explain?

Contra Costa County in California has forbidden any church from meeting even if they follow all of the CDC guidelines.

What???  Really?  That's really, really sad.  Sorry, Bob.  I truly am.

[Alley 8,133]

I am still praying. We are all behind you.

Be patient.  It looks like a good reason for Contra Costa County in California to face a multitude of law suits; along with many other State and local Governments, when it comes to their handling of the coronavirus.

Unfortunately the Supreme Court Chief Justice sided with the majority in a 5-4 vote to give Gov's the right to allow such a thing.   Churches seem unfairly singled out in contrast to other groups.   Peaceful civil disobedience may be the only way to go before long.

The first century church  met under persecution. this is mild compared to then. All they have threatened us with is misdemeanor charges and fines.

So true, Bob.

Yeah, I never thought of it that way, Bob.
