COVID-19 Church Helps
In the absence of so many things that usually vie for our attention, the church can step into the vacuum Netflix is desperately trying to fill. In addition to online services, giving, and Bible studies, encourage your people towards Sabbath, prayer and rest. To make more time to be alone with God. Go for a walk. Play games as a family. Read a book. Spend time in your yard. Forced downtime can be a blessing from God.
