In the midst of the difficulties of the past couple of years, it has been a blessing to be able to live-stream services so that those who couldn’t make it to Divine Service could still take part from a distance. We are thankful to have been able to stream and that you have been able to watch.
However, live-streaming was never meant to (and, indeed, cannot) replace the physical/incarnational gathering together to which Holy Scripture calls us. Just as Christ took on flesh and dwelt among us (Jn. 1), so too He gathers us together in the flesh to dwell with one another around His holy Word and blessed Sacrament. If you stopped going to worship during the pandemic and have not yet returned, please do so now. We will be overjoyed to see you again! In order to encourage faithfulness in attending Divine Service, public live-streaming has been discontinued.
If you are shut-in/homebound and so unable to attend Divine Service, please let Pastor Leigeber know so that He can bring Christ’s Word and Sacrament to you at home. Recordings of the service and other means of home devotions will also be made available for your edification. For more information, please email Pastor Leigeber at pastor@allsaintsjonesboro.org. The peace of Christ be with you all!
