#3 - Journey Maps: Planning Your Ideal Path #2 - Persona Profiles: Understanding Your Audience #1 - Ministry Goals: Defining Your Purpose Every Tuesday through June 9 there will be a different webinar on church communications. On Tuesday, April 28 I signed up for a webinar sponsored by Concordia Technology Solutions (which is part of Concordia Publishing House) titled Church Communications Strategy Course. We have a team dedicated to making our live stream worship services the best they can be during this “new normal” of worshipping online. What began in March with an iPhone and Kristi recording our worship services has become more of a team effort involving a webcam (if you see Caroline Boehne out and about tell what a great job she does running the camera) and Ruth Boehne playing hymns on the organ, Curtis Boehne and Cindy Spenner leading the singing and Mike Luebbers running the sound for our live-streaming. Louis for granting us a technology grant of $5000 to help us improve live streaming our services. I am especially thankful to Lutheran Foundation of St. We have been given extra opportunities to share God’s Word and I am thankful for all of you who have opened your homes and hearts to God’s Word. Rest assured, these are things that will continue to take place even after the shelter in place order is lifted. I am thankful for all those who listen to our daily devotions at 10 a.m. I am thankful for all the people who gather around their televisions, computers, tablets and phones to hear God’s Word.

It’s certainly been a process that we have had to learn on the fly through trial and error. I am thankful that we are now live-streaming our services both on Facebook and YouTube. This shelter in place time has allowed us to move very rapidly in our plan of upgrading our technology at church and school. First of all, I am thankful for God’s gift of technology. So I am thankful for some positive things that have come out of this time of pandemic.
Life may be scary for us at times but we must remind ourselves that Jesus is our Good Shepherd who always takes care of us.Īnd in the midst of this time of fear and uncertainty, God still provides His good gifts that He gives to us. I’m anxious to start receiving God’s gifts in the Word and the Sacraments.īut I’m also cognizant of the fact that we in the church may be heading for a “new normal.” I have no idea what that looks like and what that means for our church going forward but I trust that God is in control and He will be walking hand in hand with us and leading us in times of fear and uncertainty.
And I am as anxious as you are to get back into worship and begin gathering together as the people of God here at Trinity Lutheran Church and School. It seems that just as I was being able to put names and faces together and the church started to get on a roll, along comes the Covid-19 virus and the shelter in place order is handed down by the governor and life as we all knew it grounded to a halt. As a pastor with a new congregation, this has been especially frustrating to me. If you are anything like me, you’re probably anxious to get back into church.
