This recording was captured during an online meeting (due to excessive sickness in the church).
There is no recording of this sermon, either in audio or video format.We met for worship online due to a wintery forecast and an increase in sicknesses and viruses.
As an archive, we will post the notes from which the sermon was preached. These notes are not a manuscript, but more like a full outline. Some points are written out while others contain a talking-point prompt.

As a result of technical difficulties, there is no audio file (podcast) for this sermon.
This was our second week gathering online for Zoom Church. The recording is of the sermon, benediction, and doxology. The Doxology at the end is the sound of 32 households singing together online—musically, not so great, but spiritually, beautiful.
MARCH 22, 2020
Because of the COVID-19 (CoronaVirus) national quarantine, we gathered online for our worship service. We used Zoom because the video conferencing platform allowed us all to see and talk to one another. Approximately 40 households gathered (some families, some singles). Four men lead the service, each from their own home. We designed the worship service to incorporate as much of our normal worship services as possible. The only thing we could not do easily was sing together—but we still managed to sing the Doxology to close the service. To be sure, it was a very strange AND incredibly special gathering for our church.

This audio captures most of the worship service. Unfortunately the recording started part way through. What is missing is (1) Gathering conversations before and after the service, (2) Welcome and instructions, (3) Call to Worship, and (4) the first part of Rob Spinney’s perspective on the pandemic.
The audio recording is good (above). The video recording is not (below). We apologize—our tech team is working on a solution.
