The Challenges of Making Music in CovidLand
Our battle with Coronavirus has taken an extreme toll on singers. We are told now that singing spreads the virus many, many feet from our mouths.

I miss seeing the kids in person, but this is the next best thing right now as we navigate COVID-Land. I am looking into curriculum options that will be better suited for remote Sunday school, since Godly Play is based on a hands on teaching method and I am learning that it doesn’t lend itself to fully engaging the kids when used remotely.
