Virtual church on a snow day
Like many churches in the path of the East Coast winter storm, my congregation cancelled worship two Sundays ago. We didn’t get record-breaking amounts of snow, but here in North Carolina it doesn’t take much to shut us down.
It felt weird, though, not to have church at all. So on a whim I threw out a request to the parishioners I'm connected to on Facebook: would they meet up at our normal worship time for a virtual service at our church’s page? Sure, they said, absolutely.
So on Sunday morning, in my pajamas and with coffee in hand, I sat down at my computer and led worship. I was slightly concerned that this was a ridiculous idea that would result in a giant train wreck forever archived in the eternal memory of cyberspace.
