<div dir="auto">Brian,<div dir="auto">So sorry to hear this. Our Christmas dinner on Dec 28, with our whole family had to be in isolation as our 2nd daughter tested positive that morning. The rest of us were but the grandcousins couldn't be together inside our new house so they exchanged gifts on our driveway and each family had take home Christmas dinner. It sure has been a trying time. Is there no end in sight for Covid? On top of that we've had 1 </div><div dir="auto">funeral and 2 visitations in the last week! </div><div dir="auto">Thankful and grateful that we have a Zoom liturgy on Sunday.

<div>Subject: [Sundaycommunity] SONG PROGRAM for Sunday January 7 </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div style="font-family:times new roman,new york,times,serif;font-size:16px">
<div dir="ltr">Hi Everyone,</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Happy New Year. </div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">And here, attached, is the program of songs and responses for our first Sunday celebration of 2024, namely Sunday, January 7th, 2024, which is The Feast if the Epiphany of the Lord. This is the day, in the Halferty household, when the "Wise
Guys", as our kids called them, would come down off the shelf or windowsill on which they had been "traveling" towards Bethlehem and would appear in the Creche scene, along with Jesus, Mary, Joseph, the angels and the shepherds, the cow, the donkey, a camel,
etc. It became a very crowded place.</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Another New Years tradition that has developed for Mary Lou and I is COVID isolation. We started New Year 2021 by going into a 10-day isolation in our apartment, not because we had COVID-19, but because Mary Lou's visiting PSW had come down
with it and we had potentially been exposed to it. Here we are, three years later, in the early days of New Year 2024, and I am in a 10-day isolation in the apartment because I tested positive for COVID this week; and Mary Lou is isolated or quarantined in
her room at True Davidson Acres because I had been visiting her and she was potentially exposed to the virus. And they're trying to be extra careful on her unit, because a number of residents have had active COVID over the past ten days or so.</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">One of the results of all of this is that I will be joining our liturgy ZOOM call on my own, from the apartment, this Sunday, and Mary Lou will be unable to join us. Hopefully, as time and COVID move on, things will soon return to normal.</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Best wishes to all.</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Brian</div>
