Normally, we thank the Church for their support on Scout Sunday by hosting a Pancake Breakfast and then participating in a service with the Church pastor. This year, we were not able to host the breakfast for COVID reasons, but we were able to attend the service over Zoom.
The service focused on the idea of living and loving like Jesus. After some thankful speeches to the church from our members, a Bible verse (John 5: 2-9) was read detailing a time that Jesus helped a sick man who had been neglected by others for 38 years. The pastor connected this idea of caring about and helping others to modern people currently suffering. She also connected this behavior to the moral code upheld by Scouts who follow the Scout Oath and Law. It was a lovely service to attend, with a message of caring and hope that people need during this time of extreme separation from others.
