Nearly every league has suspended their season. We don't know when they'll be back. Of course, it's ultimately for the best. In the midst of the Corona Virus pandemic, it can feel strange to miss something that seems trivial. But still, we miss our beautiful game, and that's okay. It means we all have something to look forward to on the other side of this. We have friends and family to celebrate with, strangers to sing with, and a vibrant community to stand with. Join in as we explore hope in these dark days.

Condolences to those who are struggling, and to all the lives we've lost. Stay safe, listen to the experts, and please, wash your hands.
