Set up before you need it
Don't wait until you're sick or unable to attend. This Sunday, find your church's online stream and bookmark it. Test casting to TV. Make sure you can find it easily when needed. Many seniors who unexpectedly couldn't attend church have struggled to find the right stream link in the moment. Set it up while you're well.
