“Zoom-union”
We hear from many of you the complaint that Sunday sermons and midweek lessons are “Bible light”—little meat, no exposition, nothing new. Several years ago (while still in Atlanta) on Sunday evening we began to offer short Bible lessons, followed by the Lord’s Supper, initially for those serving as ushers or in children’s ministry. Here in Scotland we have continued this tradition, and with over 100 talks now ready to watch.
Since these weekly lessons are taught on Zoom, and all the sermons culminate in communion (the “sermunion”), these could be called “zoomunions.” (Not that we expect that word to ever be added to the Oxford English Dictionary!)
