Today I participated in an online church service by the church that I attend. The pastor and his family produce the service complete with hymns and all the other stuff that happens during a regular service if we were there. Afterwards there was fellowship with other members of the church on Zoom. While it was not the same as actually being there it is a good solution under the current situation.
