2. In spite of several people absent yesterday because of possible exposure to the virus, we had a good number, and probably our best participation online.

4. I’d prepared to do a meditation for the Lord’s supper. I combined sermon and meditation. Copious notes helped.

5. Governor tightened screws starting today on lockdown. Will last at least until the end of the month. No religious meetings. Obey God rather than man. I’m passionate about that.

7. A Bible verse: “They will proclaim the power of your awesome acts. I will declare your great deeds.” Psalm 145.6 NET.
