When COVID started, and in-person church services ceased, I started attending online, so I could continue to worship. I felt connected to God through worship and sermons, while maintaining relationships with my known church family while also making new connections via the online chat services. I served as an online greeter and as part of the prayer team. NewLife@Your House allowed me to continue to serve others during a season of uncertainty, through prayer and fellowship, and group bible studies. It provided me with a community to pray over and support me as I persevered through a family member’s homegoing and the travails of my family’s repatriation home from China during COVID. Even now as I have started back with in-person services on Sunday’s, I keep in touch with the online community on the occasions when I am attending services remotely or referencing an online lesson. Even though it is a different vibe from sitting in a sanctuary, NewLife@Your House delivers God’s message and is full of His presence.
