My church in NJ is using Zoom. Our Bishop has closed our church until May.
We have done two Sundays so far, and attendance is up!
I heartily recommend Zoom to anybody who needs to meet. We have had Zoom Sunday Services, Zoom Daily Office, Zoom Vestry Meetings, Zoom Dinners.
It is cludgy and not as good as being there, but if you can’t be there, it is a good replacement, and people really appreciate the opportunity to get “out” for a little while.
NJ is getting bad. It is good to be locked in.
Yes, I actually think these lockdowns will end up bringing more people to Christ. Those who may have been hesitant to attend a traditional church service can now watch online services. We even have a local church doing drive-in services with the blessing of local medical and law enforcement agencies. In uncertain times, many people turn to religion.
