This is a Supplemental Episode made for the Gary Church congregation as they take Holy Communion in their vehicles from the parking lot. Because of COVID-19 in Wheaton, IL (and the rest of the greater Chicagoland area) we are unable to meet in groups of larger than 10 indoors. This means Gary Church hasn’t had Communion since the 2 weeks before Easter.

We began this podcast with a simple goal- to help people pray. The original idea was to do one podcast a week that people could use daily. We thought we would then add 5 additional readings of scripture for people to use daily during the work/school week that went along with the prayer pocast. Well, COVID-19 happened and during the lock-down we could make unique daily podcasts. The pandemic actually helped us see a major flaw in the original idea . . . if you use a podcast once, your form...2020-06-2902 minPastor Brian PodcastS1:E51- Tanner Isaac- Monday, June 22nd, 2020Welcome to the last week of Season 1 of the Pastor Brian Podcast (Season 2 will be coming in two weeks- more on that later in the week)!
