I can't even believe we are in August. Where have the months gone? In some ways it feels like the last 4 months have just disappeared and in some ways it feels like the longest season of our lives. Seems like a blur.

If you are following our governor’s daily briefings then you know that our state reported 1,772 COVID cases yesterday -- highest number of cases in more than 2 months. Governor Pritzker suggested that our state is reaching the ‘danger point,’ and inviting residents to ‘pay attention’ --  to wear masks, maintain safe distancing and wash hands as frequently as we can.

I had posted an apology on the church’s facebook page right after worship last week, but I know that not everyone is on facebook, so I wanted to take some time here and once again apologize to those who were in worship last week and felt disrespected, disrupted and harmed by the comments that were posted in the chat space (those who were not in worship -- please refrain from asking what happened -- no one needs to re-live that).
