Just got back from a retirement church service for my Pastor (49 years)
He was supposed to retire in May but COVID-19 pushed things back.
They turned the parking lot into a drive in service. Went way better than I expected. EVERYONE had a mask on . You had to reserve a spot a week in advance because it was limited for every other parking lot to ensure social distancing. EMT's were on deck as well as Sac PD monitoring traffic. The service was at 9 AM while the gates opened at 7. There was a line to get in when I got there with my mom at 7:30 .
As for the service, they flew in several pastors from around the country to speak. Governor Gavin Newsome wasn't able to make it but they read a prepared statement he made . Mayor Steinberg spoke. Kevin Johnson was called out by the Pastor to speak (longtime church member) but he was a no-show.
No offering but They rewarded the Pastor a new GMC Denali for his services
Also they passed the torch to the longtime Pastor in waiting , who was a Pastor at a church in San Francisco since 1997.
It was beautiful brehs
Newscrews were there so I'll post the story/clip
when it comes .
The Pastor and the church did a lot for the Oak Park community for decades and I grew up under it . That also includes serving as a covid testing site for months .

You should be humble enough to shut the fukk up and know your place. If you dont know where your place is, I can help you with that. Just ask first.
