One Winnipeg pastor recently led communion with a senior couple over the phone as they weren t able to connect virtually.
A portion of the Filipino United Community Church congregation either doesn t have access to technology or find it difficult learning how to use the internet. This means that finding ways to connect during a lockdown is more limited. We went back to the telephone, says Pastor Victor Cuarto.
Cuarto is one of three pastors at Filipino United Community Church in Winnipeg. The church is celebrating its 35 years in Winnipeg this year, with another church in the Pembina Valley led by Pastor Fronnie Silla.
