During the Coronavirus pandemic in an attempt to stop the spread of the virus states have shut down non essential places. It varies from state to state but essential places include hospitals, grocery stores, gas stations, banks, liquor stores, carryout and drive thru at restaurants, auto repair shops, home repair stores, marijuana dispensaries, and laundry mats. As some governors begin to open up their states President Donald Trump wants churches to be considered as essential places and start opening up soon. I applaud President Trumps reference for GOD’s house and the need for people to be involved with personal worship at church. The fact that he understands that church should be considered places of worship is very important especially since places like liquor stores, marijuana dispensaries, and home and auto repair stores are considered essential. The fact that we have a leader that references GOD, prayer, and church is important.
President Donald Trump identifies houses of worship as “essential places”.
