"Any church trying to get people to risk their life for a sermon should be shunned as unchristian." sermon haha it's the collection plate they are worried about.

Since the first lock-downs here is California in mid-March, our church has live-streamed Sunday Mass, which is held outside for those who wish to attend in-person, and a few weeks later they started to stream the daily Masses as well. Since then, my wife and I haven't missed a single 'virtual' Sunday Mass, and my wife tries to 'attend' the daily Masses at least a few times a week. We've also been mailing in our Sunday envelopes, again without missing a single one. In fact, since we're able to, we've upped our weekly donation so at to try and help make-up for what I'm sure has been a shortfall.

Note that we don't intend on returning to in-person services until we've gotten our own inoculations and until the vaccine(s) have started to have a significant and meaningful impact on the overall spread of the COVID. If that takes another six to nine months, so be it.
