Worship, April 19, 2020 (audio)
Here’s the audio from our online worship on Sunday, April 19, 2020. The text for the message is John 20: 19-31 — Jesus appears to the disciples on the evening of resurrection Sunday. Thomas is absent, and he is usually the focus of this story, but I think there’s alot more to it than just Doubting Thomas.
I’ll edit the video out of this and repost, but for now here it is. We’re using GoToMeeting because our folks who do not have internet can dial in. We’re averaging about 50% log-ons and 50% dial-ins, which is exactly why we chose this platform instead of live-streaming.
Podcast: Easter Worship, April 12, 2020
Here’s a portion of the audio of our Easter Sunday online worship for April 12, 2020. We “broadcast” this over GoToMeeting. I hope it’s helpful to you during this Easter season.
