Lord's Day Morning Meetings

In light of the rapidly developing situation related to the COVID-19 virus, with guidance from the CDC and governmental authorities, and after much fellowship, we are implementing the following changes to the Lord's Day morning meeting schedule:

Lord's Table Meeting - 10:00 AM

• A small group of saints will gather at the meeting hall and will lead the meeting in the singing and the breaking of the bread.
• All other saints should log onto the Zoom broadcast of the meeting by clicking on the button below:
  

• The saints can log on individually or in small groups no larger than 10 saints.
• During the singing, all logged on individuals or groups will have their microphones muted.
• After the singing has ended, microphones will be un-muted so that all may participate in praising the Lord and to call additional hymns.
• During the breaking of the bread and the passing of the cup, each logged on household that chooses to may break bread and share a cup in their home

 All Can Prophesy Meeting - 11:00 AM

• A brother will give an opening word
• All the saints should feel free to participate in the meeting by speaking their enjoyment and by standing with the others saints as they speak.

 Preparing Yourself, Your  Home and Your Computer / Phone for the Meeting

You may use your home computer, laptop or phone to participate in the online meetings of the church. Please take the following steps to make sure you have a good online experience:

1. We want to maintain a spiritual atmosphere for the meetings. Join in prepared to exercise your spirit to sing, to pray and to praise the Lord.
2. To the extent possible, make sure your environment is free of background noise.
3. If you use a camera, and we hope you do:
   • Make sure it is in a stable position, free of jostling and unintended movement.
   • Place your camera approximately level with your face and about one arm's length away from you
   • Do not hold your camera in your lap. It is not stable and movement is a distraction from the meeting and ends up displaying at an awkward angle.
4. Upon logging in, open the CHAT and Participants areas.
   • The CHAT area can be used to communicate song numbers to everyone. If the song number is sent to EVERYONE, but you do not have CHAT open, you will not see the message.
   • You may send a CHAT message to EVERYONE or to anyone in the PARTICIPANTS area.
5. If you use a computer or laptop for the video and your phone for the audio, please mute the microphone on one of those devices to prevent feed back and echo.
6. If two or more participants in the same household access the meeting on different devices, each person should be in a separate room or area to prevent feedback and echo.

How sweet is has been that, in the midst of the ongoing coronavirus crisis, we have not abandoned our meeting together as the church (Heb. 10:25). By using available technologies, the saints are able to meet, pray, sing and fellowship even while practicing social distancing and self-quarantine.

Some are having morning revival together, others are reading the ministry together. One group of brothers is participating in the International Training for Elders and Responsible ones online. This has even allowed some dear saints, who for reasons of health or circumstances have not been able to attend meetings in person, to participate in the meetings.

As good citizens, we are encouraging all the saints to follow the guidelines issued by the CDC and various governmental agencies by washing your hands frequently, covering your mouth when you cough or sneeze, not gather in groups greater than 10 and to keep at least 6 feet apart when you do gather together.

But as good citizens of the heavenly kingdom, we encourage all the saints to exercise their spirits and enter into the enjoyment of the Lord in the meetings of the church. At this time, there are three recurring meetings online: 

• Lord's Day Morning - Lord's Table and Prophesying
• Tuesday Morning - Sisters' Prayer
• Wednesday Evening - Prayer Meeting of the church

Use the links in the top left hand corner of the church's webpage to access these meetings at the designated times.

When this crisis is over and we once again begin to meet as before at the meeting hall of the church, we hope that those who cannot physically be with us will avail themselves of this technology to be with us, more than just in spirit, but in this very practical way.
