"Believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem...Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshippers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshippers the Father seeks."  John 4:21,23 Zoom Worship can pose a great challenge.  I hope that this article can help ease your preparation for Online worship.    Host, Co-Host, Participant Survey who can and cannot connect.  In the age of smartphones - there really is no excuse for any grandma or child not connect to engage worship.   Open room early.   There are members who need help to connect, opening the room early can give them peace of mind.    Make sure you are wired connect.  Wi-fi is ok but if you are a host, co-host, or have a role in the program, the last thing you want is a lag because of your connection.  Remove possible audio and video distractions.  Rooster crowing or a member of the family passing by behind you.
