4 Five Problems Staring You in the Face when You Reopen 1. A church is a concentrated gathering of people—social distanced seating is fine, but what about constricting areas like the exits and bathrooms. 2. Church people naturally shake hands, hug or otherwise touch each other when greeting. 3. We like to sing which works against us in two ways. We’re projecting (50 x the breathing rate) and breathing deeply to prepare for the next line of the song. 4. We talk to each other face-to-face. All of these are factors to consider whenever you open your doors. 5. Social distancing and masks are next to impossible in your nursery and with small children.

5 Last week I read of a Catholic priest, in Texas, who held Easter services without knowing he had the virus. He’s since died but of the 180 people in attendance, six caught the virus (at the time the article was written). Now multiply that 50 times and you have a problem. I’d not want to lead a church where people got sick, a couple of our elders died and the newspaper identified us as a center for an outbreak—let alone any lawsuits. These things will happen to some churches somewhere. Just don’t let them happen to you!
