Our Sunday Service is always available by Zoom!

Feeling under the weather or isolating after a possible exposure? Need to be extra cautious? Traveling? Car troubles? Please join St. Barnabas as we worship together via Zoom. The option of Zoom for services and meetings has been a wonderful addition to how we gather.

What’s it like to attend via Zoom?

After signing into Zoom you’ll have the option to use video. Many “Zoomers” do turn on their cameras but it is not required. If you’d prefer to stay off camera that is totally fine! The Zoom meeting is usually started fifteen minutes prior to the service starting time. You might get to hear the choir practicing and you’ll get to hear the prelude.

Zoom attendees should remain muted during the service. Staying muted is just part of the logistics of offering in-person and virtual together. As we respond and sing in our own homes we know that we are together even while muted! During the passing of the peace and the prayers Zoomers make use of the “chat” feature to offer a message of peace and to share additional prayer requests.

After service is a great time to unmute to visit and check in with other Zoomers. As possible, in-person attendees will also stop by to take part in the Zoom visiting! What a blessing to have another option for gathering!

Where’s the bulletin?

You can find the bulletin on our Home Page.

Will I be recorded?

Our Sunday Zoom service is recorded and every effort is made to keep individuals from being recorded. If something were to happen, individuals will be edited out before the service is posted on YouTube.

Can I receive communion?

Communion can be received from a lay eucharistic minister. Please contact the church office to set that up.

Are there other Zoom services besides Sunday morning?

Monday, Wednesday, and Friday Evening Prayer/Compline liturgy also meets together on zoom. The service bulletin is shared on the screen by the Zoom host. These evening services provide a valuable, holy, and needed pause to the close of our days and also serve as an important touch point for staying in touch during the week. You can read more about these services and access them here.

If I attend in person will I need to shake hands? Drink from the common cup?

People are passing the peace in many different ways. Though most are shaking hands, no one will think twice if you’d rather offer a touchless, distanced expression.

Communion offers both individual cups and a shared chalice.

If I attend in person will I be on camera?

The camera for Zoom provides a beautiful view for our virtual attendees while providing privacy for those attending in person. You won’t accidentally have a camera or microphone “in your face”. Our services are on our YouTube channel if you’d like to see the camera’s view.
