Ex-Church of Christ Support Board

Note to last post: I got sick before the vaccines were available.

What a story, Gordie, glad that you made it through such a difficult time and hope you post-COVID symptoms lessen with time. Were you vaccinated before or after getting it?

Hello to all the old and new ex'ers. I can't remember the last time I was on here and even posted. I thought I would re-introduce myself with updates. Last year was a wild ride!

Wow Ham that is bold! Not sure that would encourage many to come to the meetings, maybe encourage them to leave but not so much for staying. Guilt trips, that's it. They were good at that.

The only thing I can add here is that my parents, when I was growing up, did not donate to any charities or do any volunteer work (except church work).
