Virtual Church 04/12/2020

Welcome

Welcome to our virtual worship service for Sunday April 12th 2020.  Below in the “Message” section of this post there is a link to participate in a Zoom meeting where Darryl will share a message. In order to prepare for the message please consider reading a section of verses highlighting the resurrection. Also below there are also links to Breakout groups that will allow for folks who would like to spend time together discussing the message or just catching up with one another (after the service is over.)

Message/ Zoom Link

This Sunday at 10:30 we will be holding a live Zoom meeting for our message. You can begin logging on at 10am to test your devices if you like.  You can join on your laptop (preferred) or on a tablet or phone. It should be a device that will not restrict your video (like a work computer). You can use the link at the same time in your home using as many devices as you want. Below you will find the link to follow in order to join. You DON’T need to click it now but it’s OK if you want to download the small software program, see how it works and play with the video controls. You will find it is VERY easy and the program quickly loads to your laptop or device when you click on the link. 
When you join on Sunday your feed will be muted so we are not talking over each other. Your video and audio buttons are on the lower left of the screen. In the upper right you will see a button that says “Gallery”. Click on the Gallery setting so everyone shows up as tiles on your screen. Like the “Brady Bunch”. That is all that you have to do. We’ll take it from there. If you are not able to join us we plan to make a recording available after the service.

Prayer, Song

Tomorrow we will have a special song at the end of the service called "I love you Lord" during our communion time.  You are welcome to just listen to the song but if you would like to sing along the lyrics are below:

I love you, Lord
And I lift my voice
To worship You
Oh, my soul rejoice!
Take joy my King
In what You hear
Let it be a sweet, sweet sound in Your ear

 

When the message is over pray (on your own or with your family). Ask God to show you what it means to have His fullness and what it would take to get it.

After the message there will be an opportunity to gather in a smaller setting for more connection time. Please join in if you’re available.

Going Home

Virginia&Arnie.jpg


Our dear friend and sister in Christ Virginia Bird passed away this past Saturday evening around 8:30pm.  Virginia was a Jesus follower her entire life and would have been 94 years old in 2 weeks.  She was married 71 years. (Amazing!)  
She is a great example of faithfulness to Christ and all of us can imitate her as she imitated Christ.  
Virginia is the mother of Karen Fletcher.  Karen did an absolute amazing job caring for her mother right up to the very end.  All of us could hope to have someone like Karen in our lives when we need to be cared for.  
On Sunday Darryl spoke about the fullness of Christ.  After the message was over Karen said she knows her mom is experiencing the fullness of Christ first hand now.  
That is our goal as Jesus followers.  
There will be a memorial service for Virginia after this time of social distancing is over.

We have loved getting your feedback about the service.  If you have any thoughts about what you liked or how we could do it better we would love to hear from you. Just email the church leadership team at info@arborbridgechurch.com

We are very sorry to have to share with you that at this time it is our plan to cancel worship services through Sunday April 12th (Easter Sunday).  The next possibility of us worshipping together will be on Sunday April 19th.  We will continue to contact you with updates about our worship services and with thoughts on how we can stay connected during this time.

    Check out this video to see how: 

Prayer & Song

As you begin your worship service say a prayer asking for God to meet you as you try and worship Him. 

Listen to the song in this video:

A portion of this song is based on a prayer by a man many Christians call St Fransis of Assisi.  He was a Jesus follower who lived during the 13th century.  

You can find that prayer here: https://www.kofc.org/un/en/resources/communications/francis-prayer-for-peace.pdf

Print it out and consider what part of the prayer you would most like to live out in your life.  

Message/ Panel Discussion

Watch this video of a panel discussion on the current times.  

A few members of our church family (Grace Han, Ron Mann, and Gabrielle Sanders) got together to share some thoughts about how we can follow Jesus during this challenging time in our country.  

If you would like to follow up the video by answering the questions in your family or group the questions the panel answered can be found HERE 

Communion and Offering

Watch this video as Darryl leads us through some thoughts for Communion and Offering. 

Thank you for using these materials for your worship service.  We are praying that God will give us the strength to be like Him in everything we do this week.  Please see the links below for the materials mentioned in the panel discussion video.
