As I said last Sunday, 1/3 of our regular worshippers are at home on Sunday mornings. Our viewership has been consistently around 30 over the last month. I want to thank them for being faithful. In some ways it is harder to stay consistent when you are worshipping online. You are missed and you are with us. Here are some tips on getting the most out of worship at home:
1. Get dressed up or at least dressed. (Hat Tip to my mom)
This helps the experience to feel special and unlike the other days of the week.
2. Go out on your porch. (Hat Tip to the Cosbys)
It’s always a joy to worship God in the midst of nature.
3. Drink Coffee
You might as well enjoy the benefits of things you can't do in the sanctuary.
4. Have your Bible Open during the service.
This is also something I recommend for those in the sanctuary.
5. Don’t worry about the little ones being still.
Get them to focus on the children’s message and a few other parts.
6. Read out loud.
The Bible does something to you when you read out loud.
7. Have the broadcast on one device and the bulletin on another.
Or just print out the bulletin.
8. Text me your prayer requests.
You also can vocalize your prayers during that time in the service.
9. Watch the Bible class
This can be done anytime during the week.
Just remember that you are loved and cherished at Glendale Lutheran. The forgiveness you received at your baptism continues through all of this separation and crises. We will see you soon. If you need anything call me on my cell at 805-345-6658.
