March 28, 2020

Colleagues in the World Reformed Fellowship:

These are obviously challenging times in many ways.

Among those ways is the impact of Covid-19 on regular Christian worship services.  In many locations, gatherings of ten or more people have been prohibited.  While we surely are to be in subjection to the governing authorities (Romans 13: 1), we are, at the same time, commanded not to give up meeting together for worship (Hebrews 10: 25). 

Fulfilling both of those biblical responsibilities at the same time is, for Christians in these days, a significant challenge.

To try to assist all of us, the World Reformed Fellowship has invited its congregational members and the congregations of its denominational members to share information about how we might, during these days, participate with them in worshipping together while staying physically apart.

We have focused our attention on that highlighted phrase – worshipping together and we have, therefore, asked our members for information about their worship services which are streamed live.

Below is the information we have received.  We encourage ALL of us to PARTICIPATE in one of more of these services at least until restrictions of group gatherings are removed.

Of course, there are challenges even with such participation.  Among those challenges are the various languages and the various time zones that are represented among our members in 61 different countries around the world.

We have asked our members to indicate in what languages their services are offered and, when the language is other than English, that is indicated below.  We have also listed the service times either in the local times or IN GREENWICH MEAN TIME (GMT) which should help us to be sure exactly what time that will be where we live.  Here is a chart which will allow you to determine what the time will be in YOUR specific area - https://greenwichmeantime.com/  [NOTE – be sure to take account of shifts like the move to Daylight Savings Time in the USA and Australia and the EU, the move to British Summer Time in the UK, etc.  Some nations (like South Korea and Brazil) have abandoned these kinds of changes.]

We have also listed the denominational affiliation of each of the churches below and we have provided a link to each congregation’s website in order to provide a sense of the congregation.

This information is being sent to the registered email addresses of all WRF members and it is being posted on the WRF website here – www.wrfnet.org

This is a new initiative on the part of the WRF and there are likely to be glitches. Please feel free to communicate to us any suggestions for how we might improve this service.  Send your suggestions to Sam Logan at sloganwrf@gmail.com 

We urge you to share this information as widely as possible.

In the English NIV version of the Bible, there are 105 specific references to “worshipping the Lord.”  Even in the midst of coronavirus, LET’S DO IT!
