Reflections from Pastor Gary
Grace Lutheran tops 100,000 mark on Facebook page!
Grace Lutheran Facebook page topped 100,000 reaches over the Labor Day weekend in just less than six months for church announcements, daily meditations, and worship services. The Facebook announcements, which began on March 11 with the closing of Grace Lutheran due to the Covid-19 pandemic, has gained considerable public acclaim for a congregation with less than 250 members and a weekly attendance of 60. The Rev. Gary A. Grindeland, pastor of Grace Lutheran in Bayonne, commented that “amid tragedy, the congregation has used the social media available to get the word out about the good news of Jesus Christ. In the old days, we would be talking about a very different form of evangelism. Now it is as non-evasive as the push of a button and the willingness to ‘share.’ This, in no way, replaces human contact, but the limitations that the virus has placed upon society has been used to maintain human contact but in a different form.” However, virtual church has its limitations as well, and that is the next chapter in Grace’s 113-year-legacy!
