    Glen et al,

    These services have been very good. I do have a suggestion that the prelude and postlude could be more abbreviated, and more accessible if they were. In this morning’s postlude i believ that beginning at about 5:40 to the end would have made a much better postlude to this ear.

    Also, for folks like my wife, Barbara with hearing issues you might try somehow to give a heads up that captioning is available on all of the Youtube verbal pressentations

    • Ev, thanks for this feedback. I’ll share the comment re: the prelude/postlude with Earl and Christina. Will note the captioning subject. Hope all is well with you — stay healthy!

    • I’ll vote to keep them full length; its easy enough to skip over part of it if you wish to hear an abbreviated version. Thanks to Christina and the others.

  6. I’m impressed with how quickly our church has adapted to the technology necessary to keep us up to date and in “touch”. The whole staff deserves credit, but I suspect having Dave Annett’s techno-savvy is a real bonus.

    And a special shout-out to the Knellinger family. The Scripture animation was brilliant!
