SUMMARY:"What's Next" with Rev. Randy Boyd
DESCRIPTION:CSRC Presents:  “What’s Next?” – Exploring What Church Might Look Like in a Post-Pandemic World \n\nCovid-19 has taught us how to do virtual worship and soon we will be returning to in-person worship.  We imagine that there will be some element of virtual worship that will remain.  Regardless\, there are questions that we have: \nHow do we encourage our communities of faith to not abandon the lessons that Covid-19 has invited us to learn? \nHow do we do a hybrid of in-person and virtual worship? What will that look like? \nHow do we continue to minister to our on-line community? \nAs we continue our journey into a world beyond this pandemic join us to wrestle with these questions and to begin to dream again about what’s next. \nWorkshop Leader:  Randy Boyd \n\nRecently retired as the minister of Trinity United in Thunder Bay after 30 years of ministry.  He has been doing livestreaming and multi-site worship since 2012.  \nHe is currently serving as the National Facilitator for Rural Connect – an initiative of the General Council to help rural communities of faith embrace technology. \n\nThere is no cost for this event but pre-registration is required.  Ministry Personnel\, please click on the button below to register.  Hope to see you there! \nRegister for Event with Rev. Randy Boyd
