What Do You Appreciate About Your Church During COVID-19?

Over 300 Facebook users have joined us at Intersection Ministries (Holland MI) for worship on Sunday, nearly three times as many as were present when we were worshiping in person. Also, one of our pastors has been communicating with a man via WhatsApp, who recently committed his life to Christ. Now pastor Tito has begun discipling him via WhatsApp. Praise God, no virus can halt the work of the Holy Spirit!

I have so appreciated the efforts my church (Trinity CRC, Edmonton) have made to keep us connected, not only via worship (via Zoom with musicians leading the singing and congregational participation), but also for other ministries such as Coffee Break, Bible studies, weekly Prayer services, and GEMS & CADETS.  The deacons have planned for assisting members with financial difficulties and delivering needed goods.  Members of the congregation are encouraged to reach out to our elderly/lonely members, either formally or by design.  Our prayer life has been enhanced by sharing our problems and praying for each other and the world around us.  Although it will be a glorious day when we can physically meet again, we continue to remain well connected to our God, each other and our neighbors.  This is our recently revised mission statement, and the pastors and leadership of our church is doing this very intentionally even during this time of isolation.
