Easter Sunday – Breakout Rooms and a New Guided Meditation

 

Christ is risen! He is risen indeed!

Share this traditional Easter greeting with us Sunday, April 12 as we celebrate the Resurrected Christ via Zoom at 10:30 am.

In this time of precautionary social-distancing, we’ve been encouraged to find real community online with our fellow Vineyard One members as well as new friends and visitors. We’ve spent much time interceding for those affected by the covid-19 crisis: people who have caught the virus, frontline and essential workers, and the vulnerable of society who have become even more so in this time of illness and economic uncertainty.

This past Wednesday, on our weekly prayer night, we tried something new: Zoom’s breakout rooms. We used them to get into small groups for more intimate times of prayer and fellowship. They were a hit, and we’re going to use them again this Sunday for prayer and ministry time.

On Easter Sunday, we look forward to joining together again as a diverse family empowered by the Holy Spirit and by the promise of new life in Jesus. We hope you will join us! Use this link: https://zoom.us/j/9983878948

We also want to make this Easter guided meditation available to you. We hope that letting the Holy Spirit guide your imagination while you listen to John 20:1-18 will bring you hope, peace, and renewed faith for the season.

No Church on Sunday, February 9

It feels incredibly strange to be writing this, but DO NOT COME TO CHURCH THIS SUNDAY. There is no service.

If you do come, no one will be there to let you in. You will be standing on the sidewalk, feeling very sad and lonely.

(On the upside, you will be only blocks away from our lovely friends at Hi Noodle. We recommend the chicken kao soi, which is perfection in a bowl of noodles.)

Where will we be if not at church? We’ll be attending our annual retreat with our partner churches Silver Springs Vineyard and Hudson Vineyard. SoulTend founders and spiritual directors Bill and Lainie Elander will be leading our time away.

 

It’s going to be a great weekend of fun, fellowship, and spiritual formation! We can’t wait to see what the Holy Spirit will do.

One more time, in case you missed it: THERE IS NO CHURCH THIS SUNDAY, FEB. 9TH.

We will be back in our usual place, P.S. 132 in Williamsburg, on Sunday, February 16th. We hope to see you then!
