Unless everyone’s really scared, I can’t see this lockdown achieving dramatic results, but it should at least buy some time to get more vaccinations done. I hope it goes well. Worship is still legal, but I don’t see myself attending in the near future (not that a few silent people spaced out in churches are the most significant route for infection). Leading, if required, would be different.
Merciful God, give us all the grace
to cope with the strangeness and strain
of being shut indoors again,
and to do what we can
to help others cope.
