Here are some practical suggestions to maintain a habit of ‘gathering’ around God’s Word during this different season:

1. Try and set aside a regular time to watch the message week by week. You may wake up on a Sunday and do some activity outdoors because of the weather and you now have the flexibility to watch at the time of your choice. If you are a family then, depending on numbers and ages, try and incorporate everyone as best you can. We will send you a worship playlist and would encourage you to read any of these Psalms (or portions thereof) to start your time and lead into worship and prayer (if you would like some prompts, then go to our website for ’20 things to pray for at this time’). The Psalms are 95 through 100. Ask one of the younger members to read a portion. Then sit together to watch the message. If you are in a single household, obviously it is more difficult and we will be looking at ways to make the experience more communal in the weeks ahead, e.g. we may be able to have smaller ‘closed’ meetings in the hall that have stringent control measures.

2. Do some reflection on what you have heard. Ask one another what you can practically do to share God’s love for your neighbours, for creative ideas in using social media as a church, etc. We are creating a form on the website which will enable anyone to request prayer or practical help and support.

3. Pray for some people in the church and maybe even give them a call to hear how their ‘home meeting’ went!

4. Break bread together as often as you deem necessary.

Have a blessed day filled with His grace and peace.
