In the Spring of 2020 when the world shut down due to the Global Pandemic- Playa Choir met via Zoom on a Sunday to create community and find some reassurance. Our first zoom was a series of performances and speakers. Members shared songs, words of wisdom and readings to help deal with the isolation and frightening situation we were confronted wtih. These meetings soon morphed into a weekly social gathering that many Choir members say helped them make it through the pandemic. We planned three virtual services and bonded friendships that would never had been as deep only meeting once a year on Playa. These Sunday zooms continue to this day and are now an integral part of the Playa Choir inner circle. | ||
