During the extended lockdowns in 2020 and 21, many churches found their AV resources lacking.

I get to move around t he churches in our region a fair bit, and I find that the quality of leading varies a lot.
This can be regardless of whether the leader is a paid staff member or a lay leader from the congregation.
Often it is a collection of small things that combine to produce the impression that it just hasn’t been thought through well.
So I found this article on the Gotherefor web site a real encouragement. Hope you do too.
