How many here are attending church virtually this Sunday?
My small Mennonite congregation is holding a service on Zoom in about 15 minutes. People are starting to come in ....
This is different for sure!

(47,431 posts)We did it last week. It was much better than Id expected. Were also having a Lenten discussion via Zoom later. That went very well last week.

(9,691 posts)In my churchs online service. 2nd week now. Was nice, comforting and sad at the same time. Im fairly new at this church (my previous church closed) and just starting to feel at home there. Last week was supposed to be my first time helping serve Holy Communion. Hope I get to do so someday.

(24,149 posts)I am so pissed, how in the fuck is this being allowed to happen. I almost hope a lot of them get sick for their utter stupidity, but they will pass it on and a lot of people will get sick that wouldn't have otherwise/ If it were someone I knew that went there, I'd definitely not get within a mile of them or any of their family or friends. Fucking Repug idiots trying to kill everyone!

(14,678 posts)... sometimes attend three different churches. One, very small and without resources, is simply sending out documents for the sermon and scripture and announcements and encouraging families to worship together. Another, a large liturgical church is live streaming a complete service with just the officiants present, no choir, but an organ. They stay 6 ft apart. The third is also liturgical, but has shifted to a piano at someone's home with two singers. They use software (Zoom, I think) that shows the faces of all those present. We're choosing that 3rd option, as it gives us more of a sense of participation. But it's not possible to hear everyone singing, as it doesn't synch. Is that what 5 g is all about? Would it synch if we all had 5g?

(11,885 posts)To my mind this is a deadly combination of ignorance and arrogance. I chose not to participate.
I've never taken Mark 16:18 as an invitation to be stupid.
