Sending the service to the TV.

Maybe the roads are iced over, maybe you are getting over a cold, or maybe you just cannot make the drive the way you once did. Whatever the reason, more and more churches now put the whole service online, and you can join right from your living room. The trouble is nobody hands you a simple sheet on how to find it and how to watch it on the big TV. That is what this little book is for. No jargon. No judgment. No rushing.
