Almost every year our Lutheran Women in Mission (LWML) group schedules a meeting in January. Many times, the weather doesn’t cooperate and for everyone’s safety the meeting is cancelled. No Bible study and no connecting with our LWML sisters. How we miss the time to gather and share God’s word!

A few years ago we had a pandemic that cancelled almost everything and left us secluded. God still found a way for us to connect through technology. Virtual meetings became a solution to allow us to gather in Worship, Bible studies, and prayer. While they were not always the most ideal, we were still able to be together to study God’s Word.

Many churches still have the technology for virtual meetings and if not, there are free options available (sometimes with a time limit). For members who do not have a computer, this technology does come with the option to call in and listen from a phone.

Don’t know how to start a virtual meeting? This is a great opportunity to seek out someone who does know how to run a virtual meeting. It could be someone who is interested in becoming involved in LWML!

Romans 10:17 tells us, So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ. We should use every opportunity, by any means possible, to hear God’s Word.
