For the next few weeks, while restrictions are so tight, we're changing the way we worship on a Sunday morning, starting this Sunday. You can find us here: www.kingdomvineyard.com/sunday-zoom
With the fast-changing restrictions, we as a team have felt the need to simplify what we do on a Sunday morning, to make sure it's sustainable for however long it needs to be, and flexible, so that we can carry on whatever the restrictions may be, as well as making sure we're doing everything we can to keep everyone safe.
So, rather than our service happening on YouTube, for the next few weeks we'll be meeting on Zoom at the same time of 10:10am for chat and bring-your-own coffee and donuts and the service beginning at 10:30am. There will still be a service leader to guide us through, a time of sung worship, a sermon and an opportunity for prayer ministry at the end. So really, we're just changing the platform, but this will make a big difference to us as a team in terms of preparation time and being able to share out the workload more than we've been able to with YouTube.
The best thing about moving to Zoom is that we'll all actually be able to see each other's faces on a Sunday morning!! It will never be the same as all being together in a big room, of course, but we take what we can get in these times. I think it'll be lovely to be able to see others worship as well as encourage our preachers with all of our smiling faces!
The reason we have preferred to use YouTube for so long is to give absolutely anyone the chance to come and try out church, and we want to keep our 'digital front door' as open as possible, even as we move to Zoom for the coming weeks. So, if you've a friend or family member you'd like to invite, or who has been joining us on YouTube but we haven't met them yet, PLEASE do encourage them to come along, we'd so love to meet them, and we know for sure that they'd be so blessed to see all of you.
So, to get practical: 10:10am starting this Sunday for BYO coffee and donuts, 10:30am service starts, and you can find us here: www.kingdomvineyard.com/sunday-zoom
Thanks everyone for going with us as we try and navigate this covid-caused-carnage, it's a privilege to still be able to worship with you through it all, and we look forward to seeing you all on Zoom this Sunday morning.
