Changes…
Matthew: Did you go to the Christmas Eve service?
Matthew: For the songs. Were you pinned between two sopranos like last year?
Luke: No such luck. Something had changed this year. The communion...
Matthew: Let me guess. The priest carried it out on behalf of everyone.
Luke: Nope. We all were invited up. But the wine was given out in individual thimble-sized cups.

What a year. Covid wrought changes in socialization and traditions in 2020. Meetings became Zoom sessions. Communal chalices became individual thimbles in this church. And instructions on how to administer Holy Communion run to a Church of England eight-page manual.
