Zoom vs real life meetings. Is it either/or?
Before i start, here is the River Avon in full flood in Bath. Today I went to my normal Sunday service and gathering at the Vineyard Church in Radstock. Normally we go round and do things in the community but today it was decided that we devote our time to prayer for the world and for the community about us.
