Living Hope Lutheran's Minister Eric Melso talks about worship in the time of the Corona Virus

Which jeff would love to have you back as we can chats every sunday.

The regal cinema at hamilton place transforms itself into the living hope lutheran church and as you know this coronavirus outbreak or pandemic.

Will has certainly altered pretty much everything about every way with little live our lives joining us here to talk little bit about that is eric and also eric is the minister of living hope lutheran church era.

Good to see you as a teacher and so it's our pleasure.

Thank you for joining us.

Tell me how living hope lutheran church is adjusting your ministry during the span ... yeah i like your set it's artifacting is quite a bit here is a is a small new mission church church plant that doesn' have some church building a rea cinemas course regal is closed until at least april 30.

That takes away our worship space so some adjustments and actually seeing right now in my office here.

This is what raven church gathering online doing what other churches are doing right now we have his lifestream at 10 o'clock central service time but it's right here is in a nice comfy theater is comparable to sorts of telling what kind of encouragement you have two their weekly routine doesn't ball the lease one visit to her church, but a lot of people ever the canceled her easter plans are having cancel weddings and celebrations like what will come of encouragement you have for them ... yes this is a really tough thin right on the show to talk about easter, holding for the community that's canceled course.

I think now more than ever special easter coming up monday encouragement is one of the best easter and i say that because i think right now we need the message of easter morning we ever do right.

Jesus rising from the dead, defeating death, giving us victory, giving us hope.

Hope is only when you actually need it right like right now, when this only bad things happening hope as needed more than ever and 80 this year without all the big easter plans all the stuff i think will be focusing even more on the most important thing jesus rising from the dead and may just be the best to ever have, because all the others off is on the way and was focused on is one big picture thing is to get us through this outbreak and through everything else that we come across in life i is only monday encouragement.

I've heard several men of the cloth.

Save this coronavirus outbreak use.

Essentially god's reset button for your thoughts ... yeah you know back in history t i've heard a lot of us to ask questions is the resisting of the world coming in i would onl say no.

A lot of times in history that looks like a lot of bad things happening in god always seems to use things in his own time and his own ways, mysterious, and yet already.

I've seen a lot of a lot of people turning to god when they have been a long time and realizing there is hope.

Realizing the is good news.

It' all centered on jesus and churches are right now in position to get that hope and a way to never have before and with the host mission.

Our mission is to hope for every day so taking a big picture hope we have in christ and different people.

For every day getting through this self isolation are eric, we've got to leave it there but think so muc for spending seven months of your time with us and i know the you and others in your profession or shortly staying probably will is normal, despit not having a physical church to go to thank you so much you are happy to help spread you get in touch with her.
