Our routines are changing quickly as we all adapt to the threat of the COVID19 virus that is spreading across our country and around the world. At the time of this recording many schools have moved to online learning, all major sports are on hold, churches are hosting services online, and restaurants are only serving carry out and delivery. This certainly provides some challenges to ministry as usual but it also provides many new opportunities for leaders to be creative and innovative in the ways they respond. In this episode we wanted to address the issues we're facing and offer some thoughts on how you can continue to serve the students in your community.
