Our church is small enough it's more like close friends... but each has
to decide how to manage the risks and the details...  We do have options
available, the service inside (with all the restrictions), the service
being livestreamed still for those who can't or don't feel comfortable
to come in person, and in the middle, we have the service broadcast on a
close range FM frequency to listen out in the parking lot... I've been
starting inside, and then go out to my car for the rest of the
service... :)
