We are just going to have the pastor stand in the grass outside the church with an amplifier. If it is unsafe to roll down windows please let me know and I will contact the church and tell them not to do it. Thanks I had encouraged leaving parking spaces open between cars. If I am going too far on this let me know. Thanks. We won't have many cars there.
