Prayers of healing for Pastor David Drach-Meinel

After years of exuberantly singing new songs to the Lord, Pastor David Drach-Meinel had surgery on Monday, March 1, 2021, to repair vocal cord damage. Healing is going well, and prayers are appreciated as he survives on soup and ice cream. He and his wife Diane are pastors at Christ the Servant, in Henderson.

O God of majesty, whom saints and angels delight to worship: Pour out your Spirit on your servants who, with the gifts of music, enliven our praises and proclaim your word with power. Through this ministry give us new awareness of your beauty and grace, and join our voices with all the choirs of heaven, both now and forever; through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

GCS Tech Lab: Pastor David Drach-Meinel

Our first Grand Canyon Synod Tech Lab contributor is Pastor David Drach-Meinel, with Christ the Servant in Henderson. For many years Pastors David and Diane have embraced new technologies, and since March transitioned to full online worship using a recording studio set up in their home. “This is not something we do while we wait to go back,” Pastor Drach-Meinel says. “This is what we’re doing because this is ministry now.”

In this blog post, we share a portion of the video, tips and tricks, and a full resource list.

GCS Tech Lab offers a weekly technology conversation

The Grand Canyon Synod Tech Lab is a weekly online Zoom conversation designed to spark possibilities as our church rapidly changes. Join us every Wednesday at 10 am with the link bit.ly/gcstechlab to access the Zoom meeting.

We’re all over-Zoomed, and Tech Lab is quick. Drop by for ten minutes or stay the full forty. Each lab starts with a ten-minute presentation, then a ten-minute Q&A with the presenter. The final 20 minutes are open forum.

Our first contributor is Pastor David Drach-Meinel, with Christ the Servant in Henderson, who has enough tech knowledge to present every Wednesday for a year. We’ll see what he can fit in ten minutes! More info: gcsynod.org/tech-lab.
