Alternatives to Fellowship
- Community members can be assigned pen pals to write once a week while services are postponed.
- Phone Buddies: Have community members make a commitment to talk to another community member via the phone as a way to check on them and as a way to fellowship.
- Virtual Potluck: Everyone makes their favorite meal and posts a description of it and why it is a special meal to them.
- An Email A Day: The community assigns one person a day to share a story from their life or about their week in a written format, which is then sent out to the community as a way to get to know the storyteller of the day.
