We know during the time of Coronavirus and increased uncertainty, our worship practices might shift in both location, frequency, and importance in our lives. We have put together an in-comprehensive list of some worship opportunities if you are looking for a place to gather and center with Friends. If you have other opportunities you’d like to see on this list, please email them to [email protected].
