I got a call just now that church is cancelled on Sunday because we got a boatload of snow yesterday and I guess they can't find anybody to plow the parking lot and salt the lot and walkways. (The temp's not supposed to go above freezing here till Monday.) I'm disappointed because I had just spent this morning writing a sermon for Sunday. (Yes, I'm a procrastinator!) We have no pastor at the moment so I've had the opportunity to fill in here and there and have really enjoyed it. I was especially looking forward to Sunday because it's Epiphany Sunday and I've been excited to do this topic and writing it in my head since before Advent started. And I felt like the sermon was coming together nicely. Just needed to vent my disappointment because my husband doesn't get it. I'm a little surprised at myself for how bummed out I am. There may be a chance I could do the sermon in three weeks, if people are willing to celebrate Epiphany three weeks late. Seems anticlimactic to me!  |

Does your church have a website of FB Page? I know it wouldn’t be the same but perhaps parishioners will be looking for inspiration on Sunday as well and would welcome reading it?

How disappointing. Your words may be exactly what one of the parishioners needs to hear. I hope you can find a way to share them.

Could you still do it and video it and then post a link so people could watch it?

My pastor uploads his sermons to YouTube. Could you do this? People who are snowed in might appreciate it.

Wow, I never thought doing a video! That might be fun. We do have audio clips of sermons on the church website but I don't believe there's a place for text of sermons. Thanks for the idea, my husband has tons of video equipment and would know just what to do...

That's a bummer. Glad to see that you may be able to put it on the website, though.

I hope you are able to communicate your sermon to your congregation through a video or posting on a website.
Best Wishes for Epiphany Sunday.

I'm sorry - but I agree a video sounds like a great idea!

Yes, I understand the disappointment. It happened to me once but I was able to recycle that sermon a month or so later at a Sunday service at a local retirement community, with only a few tweaks. Of course that was an ordinary Sunday, not Epiphany. That might be more difficult.  I like the idea of a video though! |
