  1. Hello and welcome to our crazy presentation.
  2. My name is Amy and this is Levis on today we will be talking about the covert 19 impact
  3. on the church during the time of the pandemic.
  4. First of all,
  5. we wanted to include this parable in our project and from Matthew's Gospel,
  6. the parable of the Sower and how he was scattering seeds on do
  7. Some fell on rocky ground on others landed in fertile ground
  8. and we want it. We thought that this would be a great analogy for our project
  9. asses we shall be talking about
  10. the evangelization during the corporate 19 pandemic
  11. came on the church on how
  12. for some people and
  13. their faith flourished like seeds that flourished
  14. and for the seeds that landed on the far tiling and soil
  15. on for some people. Unfortunately,
  16. their faith
  17. didn't flourish. And
  18. just as the seeds in this parable
  19. landed on rocky ground and we just thought it would be a great analogy to use
  20. for our project,
  21. evangelization was greatly impacted. And during the cove, it
  22. 19
  23. pandemic before our sewers, as in our clarity on their modus operandi,
  24. which is mode of contact
  25. and changed dramatically and it was a whole new experience.
  26. And
  27. so we shall not talk about how the modus operandi and which is mode of operation
  28. changed for our source
  29. changed in three aspect
  30. and there was no face to face contact. And
  31. the mission of the source changed on the field of mission changed,
  32. which we shall know
  33. go into more detail.
  34. First of all, there was no face to face contact or the clergy or for their people
  35. came on.
  36. This was huge because this was the main source for
  37. our priests in our reverends and how they proclaim the gospel
  38. and enduring this time
  39. the new face of his contact.
  40. It really highlighted the fellowship needed between the
  41. clarity on their fellow brothers and sisters in Christ
  42. and just to keep the faith alive in their own lives.
  43. A zoo we can see in this Bible verse Proverbs 27 17
  44. iron sharpens iron and one man sharpens the face of his neighbour
  45. if they're really highlighted how
  46. we need each other in our faith.
  47. And it was very difficult during the corporate pandemic to do this.
  48. And
  49. so, yes, we shall now go on to how the mission of the sewer changed
  50. and as we know the role of any reverend or priest and their main role is
  51. the sacraments to give the sacraments to their people.
  52. And unfortunately, during the covert pandemic and the
  53. sum of the sacraments were not accessible for a very long time.
  54. And, for example, marriage.
  55. Baptism on Communion onder There was a mixed feeling about this during the pandemic
  56. and for example,
  57. some Children they felt left out as a sacrament
  58. they were to receive was very important to them.
  59. But
  60. there was a darkness. There was a light, um, into the darkness of the pandemic and
  61. summer fact ID on the experience as real and personal
  62. due to the absence of the non essential things on. We can see here that
  63. despite the darkness of the lock down,
  64. there was some scenes still germinating because people they came
  65. to realise the important thing importance of sacrament itself,
  66. onboard
  67. the non essential things, like the outfits, the big celebrations afterwards,
  68. on the money, it meant nothing to them.
  69. They had a really
  70. encounter with God on their realised how important in receiving the sacrament was
  71. the entire mission field of mission changed
  72. and

  117. on awareness, a sense of that when the Eucharist towards readily available
  118. people took it for granted.
  119. And when they were deprived of the Eucharist,
