Church: it\u2019s one of my favorite places to be. Over the years, I\u2019ve realized more and more the importance of faith for my family. In the process, I\u2019ve participated in many church social groups that still connect today, only sometimes on a virtual basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From quilting ladies\u2019 groups and Women of Hope to prayer teams and adoption ministry, I\u2019ve enjoyed it. I can always rely on my connections to be there for me through thick and thin, without judgment. What more can you ask for?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why I never forget the celebratory aspects of life even during social distancing periods.
