History is Now: How have you stayed involved with First Church during this pandemic?

I am grateful for the church leadership and the technology that has kept us together. I have watched the Sunday live-streamed services since the church was closed on March 15th. Through Zoom, I am part of: a Tuesday morning house church that started during Lent; a Thursday Bible study established by Carlyle which continues after his graduation, as was his plan; a Thursday choir gathering; and often on Friday morning Lexi's spiritual practices group. Meaningful to me during this time is the opportunity to stay in touch, establish new relationships, and also deepen existing ones. The time with the Bible study and the house church challenges me, and curiously, I find the Zoom platform often enriches the experience.
