We are making changes to how we broadcast Sunday’s worship service. For the past several weeks we have live-streamed Sunday’s worship service. Initially, we did this in order to facilitate a drive-through communion distribution that would allow each parishioner as much involvement in the sacramental life of St. Bart’s as possible. For whatever reason, the desire for participation in drive through communion dwindled throughout the month of August so we discontinued that practice beginning in September.

As we have been live-streaming, we have had to reckon with internet challenges at 1000 Easton Road. We have heard feedback that whole sentences of sermons and verses of songs get cut out because of signal interruption. We discovered that, as far as we can surmise, the building sits in an internet black hole: whether it is the WiFi strength or the LTE tower strength, we are simply unable to carry on an uninterrupted live-stream.

This Sunday, therefore, we will begin recording our 5 pm service and posting it immediately following the service. We are unsure at exactly what time this would allow the service to be viewed, but the video will be much better quality with better intelligibility of what is happening.

Thank you for being flexible with us as we feel our way forward in this new and exciting day.

One way or the other, I’ll see you Sunday!
