I’ll be teaching elders quorum today. The GC talk is boring and participation is always the same handful of people. But I don’t mind standing in front to guide the conversation. I mentioned to my wife that there probably won’t be many families in attendance because it’s summer.

She said: even less during second hour. She had to go out to the car last week and the parking lot was almost empty. A lot of families are leaving after sacrement.

I don’t know if it means anything. It’s anecdotal, but church is boring and when the weather is nice, even the believers know there are better ways to spend a Sunday.

It's weird to think that, seven years later, I couldn't go back to church -- as the church I knew (and left) is gone.

Stories from TBMs make it sound like COVID and two-hour church have really emaciated turnout.
