If you’re a faithful church-goer, the next number of weeks may have you questioning if you should attend. The church I go to offers online services - not quite the same, but better than not going or going and getting sick.
Does your church offer online services?
Yes, all services are online
Yes, specific services are online
No, I wish they would
No, I’m OK with them not having service online

Do you plan on physically attending church even with the social distancing?
My church is doing online services only. I believe it is the right thing, best part is I can be in the service and have my coffee and breakfast. I also can mute the Pastor, (just kidding Pastor Jim - just kidding, really).
We are doing online. We already broadcast our worship on multiple online platforms, so the infrastructure is already in place. We are even doing online, interactive Sunday School, using the Zoom app. It’s not the same, but, all things considered. We have even taken it a step further. Us deacons will start calling our “flocks” tomorrow to see if anyone needs anything. The church will organize delivery runs for our members that can’t get out. Last, since daycares are closed, if someone calls the church office, we have member volunteers that have agreed to open their homes to “watch” the kiddos while the “Essential Industry” folks keep this juggernaut moving. Last, any of our full time staff, that are at home, will still be receiving their full pay, so, we reminded everyone that you can still give tithes and offerings through our website. A lot of our members do that already anyway.
There’s a lot of online Masses available so it doesn’t have to be my Church.
Additionally, Catholics are dispensed from having to attend Mass.
We will survive with Faith
I’m not going to risk infecting the elderly, and I think church would be a good place for a lot of cross infection (pun intended).
I do miss serving and seeing my peeps.
I love online service but now its become where that’s all I do.
The unknown writer of Hebrews[believe Paul] but said not to forsake the assembly of ourselves. But thats for life reasons not meant to be condemnation just be around other fellow believers[No matter particular religion or faith] WISDOM says not when this is going around lol
