Connecting While We Wait

At the close of our ‘Congregational Meeting’ on Monday, I was struck with how joyful it made my heart to see so many who are part of our congregation. I thought, ”They are seeing and hearing from me each week”, how much better it would be for us to see and share together.
Here are a couple of ideas (not all are mine) for having, in addition to the Worship Video, an opportunity for seeing each other and perhaps sharing in prayer, study or just conversation about life:

• A weekly online, informal “live gathering”. Zoom or Skype might be used. This could be as simple as each person doing a ‘check in’ with how they are doing. Sharing prayer concerns, etc.
• A more structured Bible study or Sunday School lesson. This again would be live using Facebook Live, Zoom, etc.

I have come to recognize, after 4 months, that it may still be awhile before we are able to come together for ‘in person’ worship or fellowship. Please let me know if you are interested in either of these options, or if you have an idea for how we can stay connected with each other until we meet again. I hope we can begin this not later than the second week of August.
