This is the vision your church needs now

How is your church doing as it hits the autumn? How are your services at the moment?

The question I am hearing in every webinar from church leaders is: are we ready post-lockdown? How will the impact of the prolonged absence of physical services affect our congregations?

‘Church in pyjamas’ has become disturbingly pleasant and, as a preacher, I have enjoyed waking up on Sunday morning relaxed and slightly lackadaisical, because the sermon is already ‘in the bag’. If I’m experiencing that kind of inertia, can I expect the congregation to feel more inspired?
