Episode #71 Hybrid style Christmas church service. Unqualified teachers wanted. Ken Reid’s illuminating concept.

Two years ago, Kevin Fitzpatrick did that thing so many of us were forced to. He pivoted, quickly learning how to deliver a church service into an on-line camera lens. Those skills will serve him well for Christmas 2022. But he’s also embracing a new hybrid version of delivering a sermon – with much of his congregation watching on screens in their individual homes, and some taking it all in the old-fashioned way – from the pews in front of him.
