A Small Group in June

In a driveway
Buncombe County, North Carolina
Saturday, June 13, 2020

A group of 5 singers met in a driveway to sing. They brought their own chairs, books, hand sanitizer, masks, and kept well apart from each other.

As the opening prayer, a poem from the internet about a pandemic and how the people found themselves anew.
