Some of you are kind enough to send me a 'virtual handshake' in the form of an email after the audio service on a Sunday.
I received one this week with a lovely perceptive comment that perhaps our world has needed a similar '40 days' to that experienced by the disciples between Easter and Ascension. And that during this time we've been able to do some necessary re-thinking and re-evaluating of what's really important in our lives and community.
Well, in many ways we are still in this period. We are 'waiting'.....
In this time when we anticipate what life may look like as Lock Down begins to ease we, as a church, are doing some planning. Yesterday, for example, we tried out a 'webcast' from AFC. Using the most basic of equipment we were able to see what a service might look like if it were broadcast from the sanctuary direct from camera to home computer. It wasn't perfect but it was encouraging and might give us some options when the time comes from us to have physical, but limited services in church - yet at the same time fulfilling the need to provide a service for people at home. It's work in progress as we move from an amber to green light!
Later this morning we'll be having our weekly Zoom Church Officers meeting and as always we appreciate your prayers for patience, wisdom and vision.
May you, in all you do today, know God's blessing and joy.
Ian
