The recommendation of NSW Health is that services be conducted online. We are most fortunate that we are able to live stream services in a comprehensive and accessible manner. If you are able to do so, you are encouraged to watch services online. Some provision is made for attendance by those unable to access the live stream but the services are currently oriented towards video distribution. You may wonder who else is watching services with you. During our live stream we usually have about 40 to 50 “views” (devices logged in). A device is a phone, tablet or computer tuned into the service. There may be one person watching a device or there may be several. We do not get statistics that let us know how many people are watching each device. We do know, however, when someone switches off during the service! By the end of the week, the number of views is averaging around two hundred. This suggests that some are sleeping in and watching later and some are going back for a second look. We are also aware that many people who are not members of Wesley are watching our services, including some from overseas. This is just one of the reasons we intend to continue our live streaming of services.
We are very fortunate to have the technology that we have and the people to operate it. Be assured that you are a member of the congregation whether you are in your pyjamas or watching later in the week.

‘Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.’ Lamentations 3:22-23 (NIV)
His compassions never fail, they are new every morning of this, and every new year. I give you a story that has spoken to me over many years:
'A small girl’s mother had just died. Standing at the rail of a ship with her grieving father, a clergyman, she asked, “Does God love us as much as we loved Mummy?” He quickly replied, “He does. God’s love is the biggest thing there is, my dear.” “How big?”, asked the child. “Look out across the sea, look up, look down,” he said, “God’s love stretches round us farther, and deeper, than all this water, and higher than the blue sky.” His daughter thought for a while and then said, “Oh Daddy, how wonderful that we happen to be right in the middle of the love of God!”' How wonderful indeed!
