Our Virtual Life Together

We are to fear and love God, so that we neither endanger nor harm the lives of our neighbors, but instead help and support them in all of life's needs."
“We are to fear and love God, so that we neither endanger nor harm the lives of our neighbors, but instead help and support them in all of life’s needs.” —Martin Luther

In the next few weeks, our life together is going to look different. However, that doesn’t mean that relationships need to stop. Connection doesn’t need to stop. Growth doesn’t need to stop. Love doesn’t need to stop. And ministry in the name of Jesus Christ doesn’t need to stop.

This page is intended to be a landing pad for information about what we are doing together at SOTC from Thursday, March 19 through Sunday, April 12. Be sure to check back here often for updates!

Overall Schedule of Events

Worship, Sundays @ 9:00 a.m.

Though we won’t be gathering in person, we encourage our SOTC community to commit to setting aside time each Sunday morning to join us for Zoom worship. If you are not a member of SOTC, but would like to join us in Zoom worship, email Pastor Aleese. We will be recording our Zoom worships and will be sharing those later in the day on Sundays.

Youth Group, Sundays @ 5:00 p.m.

Our Youth Group will gather virtually on Sundays via Zoom. If you – or your youth – would like to be involved, email Pastor Aleese.

Music Mondays, Mondays @ 6:30 p.m.

We all need something to brighten our days. Tune in to a Live Stream from Pastor Aleese and various guest artists throughout these weeks ahead. Click here for links to our most current, and previous, videos.

Faith on the Go, Tuesdays-Fridays @ 12:00 p.m.

Looking for a brief devotional amidst your day? Tune in to a Live Stream from Pastor Aleese at about 12:00 p.m. each Tuesday -Friday. Some days Pastor Aleese will be sharing Live Streams from other congregations so as to get a glimpse of our connection to the broader church. Links to today’s devotion, and previous devotions.

Children’s Chat, Wednesdays @ 6:00 p.m.

Each Wednesday, we’ll have a short video especially designed for our kiddos. Some weeks this will be a short Bible story that is read. Other weeks it might be a short Sunday School song and a suggestion for an activity. Every week, this will be accompanied by a children’s bulletin that kids can use with their families. Links to videos and children’s bulletins.

Lenten Small Groups, Wednesdays @ 7:00 p.m.

We encourage our current small groups to continue gathering virtually. Small group leaders are contacting their small groups to determine the best platform for connection for each group. Want to be a part of a group? Email Pastor Aleese and she will assign you to a group and/or start another group based on interest.

You will find recordings for the Wednesday evening services. and the resources for each week of Lent (including Scripture, questions, and prayer). Feel free to use this in your own devotional study as well as in group settings!
