We are a Rural Connect Hub......what does that mean?

Rural Connect offers a way for multiple churches to share in live & interactive worship together from a variety of locations. In this setup, each church community offers leadership in the service. One person in one church might lead a prayer, another person in another church might read scripture; the minister or lay leader in another church could preach. This is different from watching online or through Zoom or YouTube because people in each congregation lead a part of the worship service and all the other churches see each other’s participation.

As long as your church has reliable internet, you can participate. Some specialized equipment is needed, which is provided, including a video camera, a projector and sound equipment. All you have to do is plug in the box with all the equipment in it, point the camera at the front of your church and aim the projector at a blank wall. The hub church manages all the technology from their end and provides initial and ongoing tech support. 

St. Martin’s United Church is currently blessed to be in a Rural Connect partnership with La Ronge United Church and Rosetown United Church. We are currently looking for one more partner church to fill our hub.

If you  are interested or know of a church that might be interested in becoming our partner, please have them contact Keith Hall keith@stmartinsuc.com
