While Churches, Synagogues, and Mosques stand empty; being closed for the safety of those they serve, their services have not ended. Many of the religious leaders have turned online to continue to minister to the people in need of guidance and assurance.

If that isn’t enough church services, perhaps you’d like to fill your Sunday with prayer? There is an interactive map of Sunday services being put on across the entire country online provided by the United Church which should allow you to find one or two in each time zone to give many hours of online stream.
May God bless you and watch over you.
