Hello LACC!
I came across an interesting article about a week ago. I think has some good ideas in it. Take a look and let us know what you think.
Man Shall Not Live By Online Bread Alone by Trevin Wax
Live streaming worship services is here to stay. But let’s not confuse the vitamin for the meal.
When the COVID-19 lockdowns went into effect across the world in March 2020, pastors and church leaders pivoted quickly to live streaming and video as a way of keeping the lines of communication and connection open. Twenty-two percent of churches did a live stream before the pandemic; within weeks, the number had jumped to 66 percent, with 92 percent of Protestant pastors providing some kind of video sermon or worship service during the stay-at-home season.
On the other side of the pandemic, the number of churches live streaming their worship services has grown, and even though there have been some thoughtful calls to stop doing so, I suspect the practice is here to stay. (A new Pew Research survey offers an interesting look at churchgoer perspectives on live streaming.)
Larger churches have gotten especially good at presenting a cohesive and engaging broadcast of their services, rivaling the shiny Sunday morning television broadcasts from a generation ago. As any church with a television or radio ministry will tell you, a professionally packaged experience can extend the reach of a local congregation and the influence of Bible preachers and teachers.

This Sunday, we will be studying Jonah 4:1-5. Please read it through if you get a chance before you come this Sunday. We hope you can join us this Sunday for prayer, reading and teaching from the word, worship in song, and giving. See you Sunday at 9:30 a.m. at LACC!
