Our church records a service ahead of time and posts it when it is appropriate. You can watch it any time you want to. During the season of Lent, a service is posted on Wednesday and again on the weekend.
It doesn't make us angry. Our God loves everybody, equally, believers, and unbelievers... and so do we.
We/our church, set up a Zoom meeting. This morning was the first time we tried it, and it went very well. Nice thing about our small church is we can have the meeting with about 20 or so people and can still have a great discussion and share among the group. We had our Sunday school bible study and service this morning and the evening study starts in a few minutes. Miss July suggested/is putting together a daily devotional every morning so we can gather and discuss and encourage each other every morning.
We watched our service online. Sure nice to be able to do it, but I certainly miss gathering. Sent from my SM-G930VL using Tapatalk
Our service had about 16 participates and was on Zoom. Four people phoned in and the rest were on computers and iPads. No one wanted to sign off and end the meeting so we had visiting for a while afterwards. Everyone is really catching on to the technology. Our congregation is on the older side but that doesn't seem to stop anyone from learning.
That sounds like a great idea. When our Pastor gets back from California, he will be in quarantine for 2 wks. It might be something he would consider.
We have done 2 weeks since services were suspended. Have been doing for a couple months before, since we fot the GoPro camera. We had up to 30 folks watching on 1 live feed today. Had several people sharing feeds.
We streamed last week and this week on YouTube and Facebook. I saw 49 on YouTube, I would imagine a similar number were watching on Facebook. We are using Zoom for our small groups.
A group of our churches years ago created an open church service at the local drive in movie theater. Each pastor takes his turn at delivering the sermon. So this year they started earlier due to the social distancing. Pretty neat that they were years ahead of the need. You sit in your vehicle and tune into an AM station.
Ours is a small town church, but some of our folks are pretty "techy" so it went together pretty quickly. Never missed a Sunday. Three weeks ago we had a "stay home if you are at risk" service, with small attendance, and live streamed to those who didn't come. Last week we live streamed from a "closed" service from the church building, This week we pre-recorded some of the service, and then the pastor preached from his home. This is probably going to be the method for a few more weeks. We struggle with bandwidth, our smalltown does not have a lot to go around. But it works.
