Here are some resources I have been using to organize and facilitate church during COVID-19
Xenvo Pro Lens Kit for Smartphones/Laptop Cams
This has been helpful by providing a wide-angle shot for when we need more people in the frame for virtual church, but would like the camera closer for better sound. Solid quality, minimal image distortion. ($40)
Web service that allows you to embed a FB Live stream on a website. I tested today and it seemed to work well. Helps with those that aren’t on FB to easily access the stream. ($7/mo)
Web service that allows you to send a link to someone so they can book a spot on your calendar and will automatically generate a Zoom meeting link! (FREE)
Drive up Communion. What a time.

Sunday afternoon pipe.

The study is coming together.

So disappointed that Fantastical 3 insists on prompting me to upgrade to a subscription when I have in fact purchased the software some time ago. One time is fine, but it prompts nearly every time I open the app. Back to the stock calendar for me, I think.
Unpacking all my books into a new space. So grateful for the ones I have read, haven’t yet read, and will never read.

This is one of the most true and challenging—yet somehow also comforting—books I have ever read. You can finish it in an hour, but consider taking an afternoon to really digest it. Then make a plan to revisit soon. I commend it to all.

Have been using this heavily to prepare for ongoing Catechesis classes at DMAC.
Jesus is a person, not merely a principle. We share a person, not just a set of doctrines, with the world. Real religion is about real communion with the man Jesus, not merely rituals for their own sake.
