Church after the big storm

Yesterday morning was an unusual service. With a thin early service crowd due to the time change hour loss, a huge storm erupted during the message. The lights flickered several times, and then one-third of the electricity went out in church until evening.

We couldn't use our video projectors to show either of the two videos (we will show "rooftop evangelist" in the future to the later service, it is a classic), message notes, scriptures, or song lyrics in the later service. Some of our classrooms were dark. Several of our members were up most of the night bailing out their basements, since their sump pumps were out due to an extended power loss.

Jesus didn't use technology, but I never realized how dependent we were on it.

  1. What would the church look like without technology? We would almost certainly be forced to minister to those in our own community without reaching too far. There would probably be more evangelists. There would definitely be more churches and they would be smaller. My guess is that the relationships would be tighter.
