On Tuesday, March 17, the Conference office hosted a Zoom conversation around creative worship during COVID-19. The call generated some great conversation on best practices for Live streaming, ways to encourage and engage people throughout the week and to be community while maintaining some physical distance. We were not able to record the call, so Genevieve put together this list of some great resources to help office guidance on moving to digital platforms for worship.
