Covid-19
Despite further deconfinement churches still must allow 4m2 per person, wear masks all through the meeting, avoid eating, drinking or "attroupements" and disinfect all surfaces liable to be touched...
Since attroupements are an important part of what we do, and the thought of singing and preaching in a mask is unattractive (that is not an invtation for unkind jokes!) we will carry on meeting online.
We are building a community, not an audience, and starting a church, not a ministry, so zoom suits us best.
However we understand that the government are expected to revise the directives for churches etc with new guidelines appearing on the 22nd of June, so we're waiting with bated breath.
At the same time, we're now entering the sunlight zone of July and August, when the holiday spirit siezes the entire nation and we practice a kind of compulsive transhumance, the July people flooding down from gloomy Parisian regions to the radiant south during the first weekends of July, only to return just when the August people are rushing down like a innumerable herd of giant tortoises causing the notorious "black weekends" of journées croisées, where immovable objects and irresistible forces meet all across the centre of France.
Enfin bref, we probably won't meet in our building on Sunday till September.
