A Virtual Church Experiment

Updated March 21, 2020 with new Zoom links

The Vineyard is known for finding the “radical middle.” We strive to find a balance between reading the Bible, and doing the stuff; between learning about the Holy Spirit and engaging with the Holy Spirit. Looking at the vast reactions surrounding COVID-19 shutdowns, how can we find balance in our responses? We want to find the radical middle moving forward; honoring our local leaders and the guidelines given to us, but also honoring God and walking in His confidence. We hope to find the balance between safety and community.

Zoom video conferencingThis Sunday, we would like to try using Zoom, a video conference service, to hold our weekly gathering. This is different from live streaming or podcasts because it is interactive and community oriented. If you are comfortable, consider inviting a couple close friends over to watch together. If you aren’t able to, or are uncomfortable meeting in person with others, you can still follow along and participate from the comfort of your own home.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Here are the details for the Zoom service, please read everything carefully. If you are unfamiliar with how to use Zoom, watch this short instructional video.

Service Cancellation Due To COVID-19

With schools and churches across the state closing in response to the Coronavirus pandemic we felt it wise to cancel our formal service this Sunday. We will be there at 10am with a pot of coffee for anyone who wishes to show up for a time of prayer. Check with your small group leader to see if they are meeting this week as well.

I encourage you not to give in to fear while still taking reasonable precautions as directed by health professionals. As you find yourself at home more in the next few weeks, look for the opportunities to grow closer to God. It’s easier to binge Netflix but I believe that Jesus is faithful to work good out of every circumstance. So during this time let’s do what we always do: Love God and Love People.

Core Values

From our beginnings, the Vineyard has been committed to the proclamation of the kingdom of God, and to bearing witness to the deeds of the kingdom through healing (physical, emotional, and social), doing justice and delivering those held captive by evil. We want to see what the Father is doing, and join Him in His transforming work.

     -Vineyard USA

Join us in a five week course as we look back to our roots and learn more about the Vineyard’s Core Values. These are five things that will never change and shape the way we do ministry.

Installation Day

This Sunday is a big day in the life of the Loveland Vineyard as we raise Marissa and Marshall Smith up to being Co-Pastors and install them into office. Vern, Marissa, and Marshall will all speak before we invite guest pastors to offer a word or two and then we will lay hands on the Smiths and pray for them as a church. Please join us at 10 AM for worship led by Francis Cutty and the invitation to follow our new leaders as they follow Jesus. The service will be followed by a pot luck dinner and an opportunity meet and have a Q&A with the new leaders.

Tend To Your Soul

Lots of people begin the New Year with intentions and resolutions to be or live better in the next year. There is no shortage of books, Internet articles, and Facebook messages with advice about how I should live. Sunday morning, we are going to let Jesus into the discussion when we hear Him say What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? 37 Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul? Join us Sunday morning at 10 AM for worship led by Intern Pastor Marissa Smith  and the message “Tend To Your Soul” by Vern.
