Okay, let's go to a pastor in Santa Monica, California.
You have a church in Santa Monica, California?
Hello, Dennis.
Yes.
Can you hear me?
Yes, sir.
I just love you, love you a lot.
And I'm calling because, just a back story, Santa Monica, Pilgrim was the only church who was on the lawsuit against taking the cross off the LACO. And I called you 15 years ago about that.
I'm a good friend of Bob Dargatz, Religious on the Line.
Oh, wow.
Yes.
So just saying, we're not going to close our doors after 106 years.
Not going to happen.
I'm going to bring my congregation in.
for the parking lot and I'm gonna do my sermon from the upper steps and we'll continue because you have to have a pastor word and sacrament and confession and absolution and we'll do this.
So you're gonna do so oh that's an interesting answer because let me to this issue so you will have your service in a parking lot?
I'm going to do it.
I told my president this morning, he said, I'll be in the front row.
He usually sits in the back.
We're Lutherans.
We sit in the back.
And he said, I'll be in the front row, and I'm going to do it in the parking lot.
And every pastor, religious services, if you've got a parking lot, do it in the parking lot.
So wait, wait, wait, let me just ask you, wait, wait, hold on.
Pastor, hold on.
When you say the parking lot, is everybody in their car or is everybody outside of their car?
In their car.
In their car.
This is how Robert Shuler with Crystal Cathedral got started.
They had the whole movie theater, drive-in movie theater set up.
Well, it's a fascinating response.
Painful to think of all the services being canceled.
We'll be back.
