BTS Center

In the few short weeks that Maine’s churches, clergy and laity have been adapting to “the new normal” of life in the COVID-19 crisis, they have demonstrated amazing creativity, ingenuity, resilience and courage.  We are learning that CHURCH IS SO MUCH MORE THAN JUST A BUILDING.  Worship, prayer, pastoral care, programs and administration—all continue to function, albeit via computer screens, telephones and the postal service.  There is nothing “virtual” about this reality!  It is real and full of energy, connections, compassion and love.

There are too many online resources to list in one article, but we did want to be sure you knew about the great work being done by our trusted colleagues at The BTS Center here in Maine.  They are offering excellent podcasts, prayer huddles and webinars for clergy and people of faith.  If you haven’t already, be sure to check out their webpage “Creativity, Compassion and the Coronavirus”: BTS Coronavirus Response
