For our church small group meeting yesterday, we were told not to physically meet up but to use online meeting software. Initially we tried to use Google Hangouts but no one liked the screen layout. One of the members had a Zoom account so we switched to a Zoom meeting. There were 12 people on the call at one point and it went pretty smoothly.
Initially my church was still holding services but with both the OC and California orders to stay home, everything is now online. They’re streaming sermons on Sundays and most other gatherings are cancelled. My parents’ church is also dark and they’re having an online small group meeting later today as well. Weird seeing a bunch of senior citizens with their iPads attending a virtual meeting.

I watched our Sunday Service online today. I thought the staff was still going to meet at church but the pastor gave a sermon from his house. Worship was one guy on a guitar. Overall, it was pretty short; the entire program only lasted an hour. Later, my small group leader said the sermon was pre-recorded earlier. At my parents’ church and my old church in the South Bay, even through they only have about a hundred people, they live broadcasted from the church.
