Tell me why it is in these trying times that our grocery stores, pet stores, and  cannabis dispensaries are deemed essential services, yet our churches and houses of worship are not? During this COVID-19 pandemic, it is obvious that precautions of social distancing should be taken and respected. But I, as a God-fearing person, believe that unless our leaders officially deem said places of worship as "essential," we may lose our access to them. We should not be penalized for wanting to practice our creeds and desiring this most ESSENTIAL service in our trying times. But I'm afraid that if action is not taken soon, this may be the case. Please help me by signing this petition, and showing our state/federal government that we really need our religious freedom now more than ever!
