6th Sunday after Pentecost:
Greet one another with a holy kiss.
(First Corinthians 16:20)
Last Sunday we gathered as church for the first time
since March 15—the third Sunday of Lent. I’m not sure it really counts. There’s
still social distancing; plus masks. How can we “greet one another with a holy
kiss”?
Linda and I decided we best remain scattered and
sheltered for a while. Our two experiences of gathering (Mission Beach with
family about a month ago, and Auburn wedding a couple weeks ago) resulted in
illegal displays of affection. Masks and social distancing lasted about three
seconds. I’m afraid the same would happened if we gathered this morning with
the gathered. You wouldn’t want to do something illegal in church. So, we will
watch on YouTube.
It’s a reminder that worship has to do with displays of
affection for God and for his gathered people.
