A new look at a childhood finger play

Here is the church.
And here is the steeple.
Open the door
and where are the people?

They’re watching on desktops,
on laptops and phones.
They’re socially distanced.
But they’re not alone!

They’re part of a Body
that FaceTimes and Zooms.
They’re one in the Spirit
in various rooms.

The church ain’t a building.
It can’t be shut down.
It’s where you and I go
both home or downtown.

No! COVID can’t kill us.
When push comes to shove,
we thrive in the hard times
connected by love!
