BY DOMINICK MASTRANGELO - 02/25/21 07:47 AM EST
Former President Jimmy Carter and his wife Rosalynn returned to in-person church services in Georgia this month after receiving coronavirus vaccinations.
The announcement was made Sunday at Maranatha Baptist Church in Georgia, where the Carters have been attending services for more than 30 decades.
Jimmy Carter, 96, and his wife, 93, were acknowledged by pastor, Tony Lowden, during end-of-service announcements. The couple waved from their front-row pew, according to The New York Times, which first reported their return.
In a Facebook post, the church said it will put new protocol in place to keep everyone at the church safe. They include strict social distancing, temperature checks and reduced capacity for in-person services.

I see it with my neighbors.

Reagan/Bush have been gone for years, but Carter/Mondale still alive and kicking!

They've apparently been attending this church since before the US was a country...
where the Carters have been attending services for more than 30 decades.
I guess they couldn't decide between saying "30 years" and "3 decades", so they split the difference.

Carter is old, but not that old!
