Resources for Virtual Worship & Mediation
by Rev. Jennifer Nichols
Just like school, many churches, temples and mosques have closed for a few weeks to help us maintain social distance and prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
My own worshipping community isn’t gathering right now, and I miss the fellowship and connection with people I love. But it’s also a good opportunity to do something I usually can’t…. to “visit” some of the great worship worship spaces around the world, and hear amazing teaching, by dropping in on virtual worship services shared online. If this idea intrigues you, head to the website of a worshipping community you’re curious about and see if they have onlines services.
To get you started, here are a few you might like to try. If you have others to recommend, please share them with me at jnichols@mamail.net and we will make this a running list!
