As the implications of COVID-19 continue to unfold across the US and the world, it's highly likely that you, your family, and local community have been significantly impacted. It is in these situations of uncertainty and volatility that we look to the support and encouragement that God provides through the Body of Christ and specifically, our local church community. For most of us, even that is being disrupted. Recognizing that many of us are members of churches that are navigating canceled services or moving to live streams, the team at Minno has developed a resource that will help you and your family have "church at home" this weekend (and in the weeks to come). While services for grown-ups might occur in some form or fashion, for many, children’s ministry will be canceled altogether. That makes it tough for parents or caregivers wanting to create an experience for their whole family to connect with God in a difficult time. With that in mind, if you want to create a worship experience with your family, check out our free resource, Minno Church At Home. Just visit Minno Church at Home each weekend to experience a compilation of worship songs, Bible stories, and more! Meet with God and enjoy fun family time wherever you are. In addition to the show compilation, your family can take the fun off-screen by downloading an illustrated Bible story, coloring pages, and more printable activities. If you’d like to learn more about "church at home" or you’re looking for help explaining what’s going on with COVID-19 to your children, check out How to have Church at Home as a Family and our post with tips for talking to your kids about Coronavirus on Minno Life. If your kids are feeling particularly anxious, you may want to read Three Powerful Verses to Pray Over Your Anxious Child. Our desire when we launched Minno was to build a company that could help families abide and rest in Jesus Christ. The name Minno is based on the word "abide" from Jesus’ words found in John 15:4 "abide in me, and I in you." As we all focus on what we can do to stay healthy, both as individuals and as a community, we continue to pray and lean on the guidance of leaders, believing that Jesus is our greatest hope and comfort in times like these. May He be near to you as you navigate changes to your routines, social distancing, and potentially tricky conversations with your kids. May "the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with us all" (2 Cor. 13:14). |
