Most of us are probably so familiar with doing things online that worship online isn’t such a big shift. For others it might feel as strange as ordering dinner from a menu in an unfamiliar language. So here are some tips to help you get the most out of online worship.
Gather the whole family:
No one needs to dress up. You can all gather in your PJs, grab some coffee or a favorite snack and sit on the comfy couch, but make sure you make it a family event. You can even pause the worship to talk about questions.
Prepare your heart
Before you start worship pray that the Holy Spirit would make you aware of God’s presence. Yes, right there in your home, God is with you!
Sing along
Come on, you do it in your car, right? Just belt it out right there in your living room, or wherever you’re watching. The more you sing out loud the more natural it will feel.
Take notes
The message notes are provided right along with the message. They are downloadable and printable. Or go old school with a spiral notebook and a pen. I frequently use old sermon notes to study and pray with more depth.
Respond
Post a response on the website or on our Facebook page. Here’s the link.
Your post can be a statement of testimony, a praise, a note about how you responded to what God is showing you through this service, even a question the content brings up for you.
Talk About It
We’ve also included a Talk Sheet for further study and discussion. You can use the talk sheet with your spouse and family, or call up a friend and discuss it with them. Some of our community groups are even talking about discussing the talk sheets via a Zoom conference meeting.
We’re all holding out hope that life can return to normal soon, but till then – worship in your PJs.
