Livestreaming
Congregations are encouraged to participate in the live streaming of services as we will provide them from St. James, Lancaster, and St. Luke’s, Mechanicsburg and our two cathedrals as their capacity is developed. These services will not include a congregation.

Facebook Live
Some clergy may wish to conduct services of Morning Prayer on Facebook Live as they are able. You do NOT have to log in or join Facebook to watch a live Facebook video but you do need a Facebook account to create a live video. For more information regarding Facebook Live, click here.
Listed below is a training video created by The Rev. Ingrid Andersen, St. Luke’s, Mount Joy.
