A baptism?

Tweet

Today is Pentecost Sunday. We still don't have church in person here in Tokyo, but in Kagoshima, where there have only been 10 cases of coronavirus in all, and that was in March and April, the church that I visit when I am there has been having services. They are also live streaming the service because they have a lot of elderly members who don't feel good about going out. I have been worshiping with them online for the past few weeks. Today, there was a lady who was baptized! I haven't even thought about that. Traditionally, people are baptized on both Easter and Pentecost, but nobody has been having services in the church so since baptism takes place in person nobody could be baptized. (At my church you can make an appointment with the pastor for communion, so I also assume that baptism could happen that way.) This virus causes so many complications. Anyway, I'm happy for her that she could be baptized in the church with the congregation there. Is your church or other place of worship back in person? Are you meeting online? Are you just taking care of yourself spiritually? (I know this doesn't apply to everyone here, just curious for those for whom it does.)
