If ever there was a time when we needed each other to survive, the time is now. Isolation and social distancing have taken a toll on peopleâs psyches and mental health. As a global pandemic rages on, gathering as a community seems like a forbidden idea as we are unable to gather outside our homes, in churches, in restaurants and bars, or in sports arenas. There is a sense of longing, unfulfilled, to engage and interact with others in meaningful and purposeful ways.
People are social beings created to be in community with each other, and yet many of us find ourselves alone. However, if we are confined by what shape or form a community must take, then we will find ourselves feeling hopelessness and despair.

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) Church hymns echoed through the courtyard of Saint Peter s Church in Philadelphia s Society Hill neighborhood on Tuesday evening for all the lives lost due to COVID-19.
It was a somber evening in Philadelphia and across the country as the nation eclipsed 400,000 deaths since the pandemic began. In a tragic time, this is so uplifting, giving us a sense of purpose to be somewhere and to do something, said Old City resident Lynn Wexler.
Inside the bell tower of Saint Peter’s Church, the moment is not lost on Ben Cornelius, who says the occasion is both somber and hopeful occasion. He joins bell ringers from churches across the Delaware Valley to honor the 400,000 Americans who’ve been killed by #COVID@6abchttps://t.co/VTHLVZt3repic.twitter.com/nmcmL21dyI Christie Ileto (@Christie Ileto) January 20, 2021
