Grief and Hope in the Loss of Corporate Worship

Grief and Hope in the Loss of Corporate Worship

In 1970 Joni Mitchell released the song, “Big Yellow Taxi.” In that song she sang a familiar refrain that we can probably all agree with: “Don’t it always seem to go that you don’t know what you’ve got til it’s gone?”

As God’s people, we find the current suspension of our church services to be extremely distressing. We’ve lost something, haven’t we? And we at Grace Covenant Church find ourselves in the same painful providence as many other faithful churches across the world. We are all feeling the excruciating thirst that results from the loss of corporate worship.
