Adapted-for-home worship guides for Port Royal Baptist Church.
The March 15 worship guide: The congregation decided on March 13 not to gather in person for worship. This worship guide was adapted for use at home for Sunday, March 15 and posted on the church’s Facebook page.
The March 22 worship guide: This worship guide was adapted for use at home for Sunday, March 22. Copies were mailed, emailed, and posted on the church’s Facebook page. Having more time to reflect and imagine allowed us to think through how to add in actions and moments suited for those living alone or with others. Attention was given to what “Announcements” mean now and how and “Offering” might be carried out. One of the hymns included a YouTube link to a performance of that hymn.
The March 29 worship guide: : This worship guide was adapted for use at home for Sunday, March 29. Copies were mailed, emailed, and posted on the church’s Facebook page. The Lenten gospel reading’s inclusion of the impact of Jesus’ absence (“…if you had been here…”) is powerful.
