Part Two: A New Normal For The Post-Quarantine Church

A New Normal For The Post-Quarantine Church

April 30, 2020
by Benjamin Smith

* Editors Note: Upfront: As we look at Reunion Sunday only gather (in person) when relevant authorities say you can. And, when you do, follow the guidelines given by them. We must be responsible citizens and love our neighbors. This post, “A New Normal For The Post-Quarantine Church” is part two of three in the series.

After the excitement wears off, the church must be ready and in place for the new normal. A normal where people are hyperaware of the possibilities of viruses and pandemics. The virus might still return for a second round. There may be future crises. The church needs to become a safe place. It is already a safe place for many other situations, and now it needs to be a safe place for the elderly, the vulnerable, the immunocompromised not only for this season but for all seasons.

The Long Term Impact of COVID-19 On Churches

The Long Term Impact of COVID-19 On Churches

April 28, 2020
by Chris Wilson

A couple of months ago or so, Blessing wrote about how to prepare for an outbreak. At the time, I didn’t know if this post would be necessary, but I thought it was prudent to publish it and help people prepare. I also didn’t think we’d be talking about the long term impact of COVID-19 On Churches.

But now many churches are navigating these difficult times and turning to live streaming and online giving solutions as well as trying new ways of connecting church members.

But with it becoming clear that this won’t be over in a couple of weeks, maybe even months, it’s worth considering the potential long term effects, both positive and negative.

The New YouVersion Prayer Feature In Its Bible App

YouVersion Adds a New Prayer Feature To Its Bible App

April 27, 2020
by Chris Wilson

“Pray without ceasing.” Easy right? Well, yes and no. It’s no wonder that there are many prayer notebooks, Bibles and apps to help people. This is why the YouVersion Prayer feature is worth a look.

Although there are many prayer apps out there, the latest one from YouVersion takes a few unique decisions, not least of all the fact that it’s built straight into the most popular Bible application in the world. So I guess it’s really a feature rather than an app, but I believe it’s worth comparing it to a standalone app.

Is Your Church Communication Self-Aware? [Podcast #304]

Is Your Church Communication Self-Aware_

April 26, 2020
by The ChurchMag Podcast

During COVID-19, it might be too easy to come across “tone-deaf” and “out-of-touch.” In fact, that’s a risk that all church communication has during a crisis. It’s important that your church is communication self-aware.

Let’s be honest: Next week’s small group pot-luck isn’t the highest priority during a crisis.

Becoming self-aware and in touch with what’s top-of-mind in our communities can help us not only communicate more effectively, but even be able to better meet the needs of those around us.

Learn Music Theory in Just 16 Minutes

Learn Music Theory in Just 16 Minutes

April 25, 2020
by Chris Wilson

When I was 14 I attended music theory classes every Saturday so I could pass my grade five music theory. You can just watch a 16 minute YouTube video from composer Guy Michelmore.

Well, okay. Guy’s video only covers the fundamentals and music theory is the kind of topic which is never ending topic so you won’t be composing an acid Jazz opera at the end, but if you’ve ever wondered why some notes on a piano are black and some are white, or why there is no black key after E, then watch on.

Post-Quarantine Church – Part One: Reunion Sunday

Reunion Sunday Coming Soon

April 22, 2020
by Benjamin Smith

* Editors Note: As we look at Reunion Sunday we thought it would be good for us to state this upfront. Only gather (in person) when your state / government / relevant authorities say you can. And, when you do, follow the guidelines given by the relevant authorities, and some. We must be responsible citizens and love our neighbors.

Different countries / state are in different phases of quarantine or shelter-in-place. Some are in the early stages and others are likely to gather in person sooner. We’ve been thinking about that first Sunday / gathering for when we can gather in person.
