Today we welcome Emily Jane to the yellow couch to chat with Ganel-Lyn about navigating at-home church. Emily Jane was invited because she's been having her own at-home worship for the past 4 years! Emily Jane discovered the Church of Jesus Christ (otherwise known as the Mormon Church or LDS Church) 4 years ago. Unfortunately, she was unable to formally attend Church services so she chose to practice her beliefs at home. During this pandemic, many Churches have been forced to close and many people have been left trying to determine how to continue their worship at home. Fortunately, Emily Jane has lots of experience worshiping at home so she shares how she's been navigating the at-home worship.
