There, both God and fellowship can be found. [/quote] That's funny. I've been in sobriety since 2003. That fellowship has succumbed to the same isolation. I still do Zoom meetings. They kind of suck, but I do it. . [/quote] OP, You should have spent those 2 hours driving around your town and found a church that WAS “open” and worshiping God today. Our church never missed a Sunday through the entire COVID. BS. We held service outside at first in order to “distance.” Then by June, when it got too hot, we came back inside, put speakers outside for those who still wanted “distance,”. but we never missed a Sunday. You need to find a church more willing to trust the Lord instead of laws of the land. We still have a few folks who wear masks to service. It’s ok if it makes them feel safe. [/quote] Yeah, that's probably correct. I was having a moment... angry... angry at pastors mostly. Is anyone even called to be a pastor anymore? Most, in my observation, are pretty non-value added. . [/quote] ... I'll put it this way, I wouldn't follow them into battle. Correct observation? . [/quote]

So, I've been really angry lately. I can't seem to control it and I feel like I've drifted a million miles away from God.
I decided that I needed to find a place of worship and seek a power greater than myself. I chose a little non-denominational church that is close by.
When I got there, a dude greeted me and informed me that due to a local outbreak of COVID-19, church was cancelled. No further information available.
I'm pretty disgusted by this and I don't think I'm being selfish. When did the "Bride of Christ" become so weak? When did that happen? I'm not sure where to go from here, so I think I'll drive to the mountains and spend some time in prayer.
Final Word: Church leaders, get your act together, please. Find your power again (ref. Book of Acts). Thanks.
