It was more than six months since I had been given a private link by the "church worker" (equivalent of a local church pastor or priests) in youtube private link by which I can tune-in in a particular time so that I can partake to our weekly church online gatherings.
This method of church fellowship which is online streaming got adopted by our church because of worldwide lockdowns due the pandemic as my Minister Bro. Eli Soriano had thought that the brethren must not get stopped in attending church as the bible teaches us.
Hebrews 10:25
Revised Standard Version
"not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near."
This Prayer Meeting that I am attending will again be replayed this evening and then tomorrow morning and evening again. In that way most members will not have the reason not to attend church because church in this time around will go to you (the members of (mcgi.org) so that the flame of faith to members will get fueled again and again until the normal church gathering is resumed when the pandemic is over.
Our church's prayer meeting service was made many years ago so the the members can go to church in the middle of the week rather than going only at weekends. It is a way for the local members to check each other's out if there are problems that should be resolved to each member individual so that no one would get neglected plus we will get the opportunity to hear the words of God in the process.
The prayer meeting proceedings is still the same, we first sing some hymns, then the opening prayer is done, then the reading of the passages in the bible in increments until the whole bible is read and then read again from the start. Then after listening to the bible reading part the topic discussion of the week is done. After that we would pray the closing prayer. The topic discussion is then continued in the Worship service on Saturday night.
