Charles Pratt opened our meeting with the following invocation.
 
Our lives are being affected by COVID-19 pandemic, including the cancellation of our weekly meetings, which is difficult and painful. But this is the only way we can protect our family, friends and the society in which we live according to other medical organizations.
 
The World Health Organization says the best way to fight COVID-19 across the wall is to adopt social distancing people are being asked not to gather in groups to minimize the spreading of the disease.
 
For me, I consider my house as a land-based cruise ship where everything is available to me, but I cannot go ashore. Let us be thankful for all we have and available to us. Let us not forget the less fortunate around the world who are struggling from day to day to survive.
