Because we’re moving to a different format of Sunday services that is part online part in-persons (which is outdoors at present) and that follows a more traditional service order, unlike our older Corona Sabbath posts which had its own unique form, The new form requires more videos a week and I’m posting the ones for the coming Sunday service throughout the week prior to each Sunday. Occasionally, some of these videos are much older–such as this one–but most, like the ones the last few days and tomorrow, are brand new. Eventually, they will be all new ones.
