Victory Road Church of Christ

JOIN US FOR SUNDAY WORSHIP ONLINE

by

Due to the Governor’s most recent proclamation, we are no longer allowed to meet for services in our parking lot. We have been looking at a couple of ways we can still meet (on line of course) and worship together. We think we have found some ways to meet most people’s needs. This Sunday (April 12, 2020) we will be holding our worship service at 10:30 am streaming over Facebook and through a teleconferencing service over the phone line for those who do not have access to Facebook. The streaming over Facebook will be video feed while the teleconferencing will be voice only.

For those wishing to tune in through Facebook, the feed will be broadcasted on the Church’s PUBLIC Facebook page which is called simply “Victory Road Church of Christ”.

For those wishing to use the teleconferencing service, please follow the following instructions:

1) A few minutes before 10:30 am, dial in to the TOLL FREE Number 1-717-275-8940. 2) You will be prompted to enter an ACCESS CODE which is 5525889#. The # (pound sign) at the end is very important so don’t forget to enter it. 3) You will enter the Conference Call and will probably hear music at first, unless you’re late dialing in. You phone will be muted during the entire service so that noise over your phone does not interfere with others trying to listen in. At the end of the service, the conference call will be terminated.

We will try and keep the service simple at first. We are all new at this and we will need to grow and improve as we go along. God willing we will not have to do this too many weeks. We are planning on playing a couple of spiritual songs during the service. We don’t know how they will come across. We will reevaluate them next week after this Sunday’s service. The service schedule will be: Introduction and opening prayer, Song, Lord’s Supper, Sermon, Song, Closing.

We are encouraging you to obtain the unleavened bread and grape juice yourself for the Lord Supper and have it ready to participate with everyone else. We will take it together at the appropriate time.

If you have any prayer requests or urgent announcements that you wish to be made, either call, text, or email them to Charles prior to Sunday.

If you have any questions or concerns about being able to access our service on Sunday, please contact Charles.

ATTENTION VICTORY ROAD FAMILY:

Tuesday night the brothers of the congregation met to discuss plans for dealing with the COVID 19 crisis and how we should proceed with our Services Schedule. First and foremost, we want to respect the wishes and orders of the government, be considerate of our neighbors, but at the same time meet the needs of our members and most importantly honor God. Several ideas and proposals were expressed during the meeting to include:

1. Streaming the service either over Facebook/YouTube,
2. Continuing to meet in the building but arrange our services is such a manner that would protect our members and meet the governments guidelines
3. Broadcasting our service over FM radio from our parking lot while all our members meet at the parking lot and remain in their vehicles dialed into the FM station listening and participating in our worship service
4. Holding a conference call through our phones with everyone on line.

Some of you have expressed an interest over streaming the service over Facebook/YouTube. Our biggest issue with that idea is we do not have the proper equipment to do it well, and we believe some our older members may not be familiar with this technology.

After discussing the various options, it was decided that we are going to hold services this Sunday in the parking lot. The congregation has acquired an FM transmitter that broadcasts over a short range. It was tested and found to work. Members will come in their car to the building and will remain in their cars. Song sheets, the bulletin, and a communion kit will be given to each car. We will sing, pray, listen to the sermon and take the Lord’s Supper together all the while keeping each other safe. The worship service will start at 10:30 am. There will be no Sunday School. We ask that people arrive between 10:00 am and 10:15 am so that we can start the service on time with little interruption. There will be brothers assigned to help people park appropriately.

We ask for your understanding and patience during this time. We know that there may be issues that we may have to address as we proceed. There is a chance that this will not work. We have heard of other congregations doing this with success. However, this is all new for us and we want to be sensitive to our congregation and meet as many needs as possible. If for some reason this does not work, we will meet in the building with everyone spreading out in both the main auditorium and the Fellowship Hall. As always we welcome you input and suggestions.
