As COVID-19 concerns and precautions begin to fade, many of us are anxiously looking forward to getting back to the active life and ministry we once knew. A big temptation in this moment can be to jump right back into the routines and patterns we had pre-pandemic and try to pretend the last year and a half never happened. As difficult as the pandemic has been for all of us, we need to stop to consider the blessings that have come out of this season and the things that we can carry with us moving forward to strengthen our ministry. I believe one of the blessings the Church has been given during the pandemic is the widespread adoption of virtual meetings.
