Pastor Jennifer Emert has had to evolve a lot this year in the way she shares God’s message to her members at Algoma and West Kewaunee United Methodist Churches. Despite other denominations being able to open their doors, the Wisconsin Conference of the United Methodist Church is discouraging indoor, in-person services until the end of the year. Like other churches, Emert has taken services outside, online, and on Zoom since suspending most of their indoor services back in March. Emert knows her congregation is going through the same struggles other churches are in the area when it comes to day-to-day operations. She is encouraged by the amount of engagement they have still been able to have with members and hopes they come back when they are able to open their doors again.

Algoma and West Kewaunee United Methodist Churches invested in new technology, including 10 iPads, to make sure people that wanted to worship with them could do so. She encourages people interested in worshiping with them to follow them on social media for the week-by-week details.
