Sunday Service

At least the picture is clever

Attending early-morning church service is a tradition in many households during football season.

There were games to watch in the afternoon, but before that pleasurable activity I had to take the brown-bag lunches to Redwood City.

That lunchtime errand unfortunately (😉) conflicted with the church's Annual General Meeting, where the congregation votes on various measures and candidates for office.

As an added bonus one gets to listen to reports of finances and various ministries.

I couldn't attend the meeting and picked up the 43 pages of materials. Reading is much more efficient than listening.

Pre-COVID we needed six servers for the hot lunch.
Now just one person is needed to deliver and set up.

I retrieved the lunches from the refrigerator and hauled them to the Redwood City community center.

There were 30 people in line, and a dozen stragglers showed up in the next half hour.

After a short waiting period, the customers were told they could have two bags, and all 87 were snapped up.

Duties done, it was time to engage in America's secular religion.

Well, the games were exciting and not decided until the very end. The Cincinnati Bengals and the Los Angeles Rams will face off in the Super Bowl in two weeks.
