Almost every year there is a major snowstorm during the winter. When that happens, businesses, stories and Churches shut down, especially if there is a significant amount of snow that accumulates.
So what happens when there is a snowstorm that prevents people coming to your Church building? Do you shut down? In years past, before the internet, that was what happened. However, we have learned a lot since the start of the pandemic and Churches no longer need to shut down if a major storm or emergency happens. They can still meet.
How are Churches able to stay open? Because of live stream and video service capabilities. See, while the actual Church building was closed, they were still able to stream a service to people. They can do that in a few different ways:
Being online with live streaming capability not only enables your church to get to experience church and community together on any given Sunday but it is really helpful when a snowstorm or untimely event shuts your Church and other Churches down. For instance, because your Church was streaming live, other people who were without church that week could experience God's word and worship on those weeks.
Technology is always evolving, making things cheaper and more assessable, That means you can invest just a few dollars and your Church can experience Church every Sunday whether your Church building is actually open or not.
