Virtual Church

Yes, there really is such a thing! I thought the guy at the cancer center was just kidding me at first but he was so in earnest that when I came home, I tried it out. Sure enough, I can't do the link thing but I typed in "virtual church" in Google and got a bunch of sites!

According to the guy, you can pick out the songs, sermon, everything you want to hear and you will get that. Now, I find a bit of concern about that because what we really need to hear, we often don't want to hear but, anyway, off I went to find a virtual church. The guy said most of them he found were from England, and sure enough, a lot of them were.

But the first one I found was The Ark. It is a black congregation in South Carolina, I believe. I couldn't find a way to choose what I "wanted" but when I finally logged on (not their fault but the fault of my slowww computer!) a gentleman was reading Scripture. Oh, I forgot to say that a couple or 3 times before I was able to get on, a sign came up saying to stop right now and pray that you will find what you need and are looking for (something similar anyway). Well, sure enough, the Scripture was the one in Philippians about not worrying but asking and giving thanks. I love that Scripture! I didn't find out how to pick my music but theirs was spectacular!!! It was what I loved! Couldn't understand the prayer cause it was garbled but then I left to find something else. Oh, we were also given the address and phone numbers so we could visit them if we were in the area or had questions we needed answered.

I did go, next, to England and found one there that had many Bible Studies and worship places to go but I didn't still, get to pick my own music. I ran out of time, or else my computer kicked out and I left but it was quite interesting!!!! I may have to do that today because I was sick yesterday and couldn't go to church. Sure do miss it when that happens. Not having a tv to go find a service, I think this would be better than being a heathen! Well, from the tv ones I have seen, which I will admit haven't been many, I think this would be better anyway.

I guess this is for people who are home bound or, for some reason, aren't happy with the traditional church. I realize we do need the church cause we need the rest of the Body but it was fun to see. I will do more later!!
