Church In The Dashboard? Stay Tuned For Inspiration This Sunday.

(Beaver County, PA) For over a month now, reaction to the coronavirus pandemic continues to force the suspension or cancellation of large gatherings, including worship services across Pennsylvania. Along that line, WBVP, WMBA and 99.3 F.M. are pleased to be the “pulpit” of the airwaves during this time and help nearby preachers reach their flock by putting their voice into the radios in the dashboards of cars, console stereos, boom boxes, ear buds and even computers and smartphones. Local listeners and parishioners can tune in to WBVP. WMBA, 99.3 F.M. and the Beaver County Radio live online audio stream to six different local church and faith based programs this Sunday.

The Line Up For Sunday April 19, 2020:

The day starts off with “Sounds of Faith”, a two hour inspirational segment of worship and praise music that airs from 7 until 9 A.M.

At 9 A.M. on Sunday morning, April 19, live Sunday Mass from St. Monica Catholic Parish in Chippewa will still take place even though the church is closed to the public.

Then at 10 A.M., a recording of Rev. Lee Bittner’s message from First Presbyterian Church In Rochester will reach the”radio congregation”.

As in previous weeks, The Soma Gathering in Beaver Falls is again sponsoring the 10:30 A.M. slot featuring Pastor Jan Davis from Central United Methodist church in Beaver Falls, who will engage with listeners via a recorded sermon.

At noon, Senior Pastor Cliff Reynolds from Word Alive church in Ellwood City will be featured with a recorded message entitled “How To Survive The Corona Virus Pandemic.” The Word Alive broadcast is sponsored by Hamilton Tool and Supply in Beaver Falls.

Finally, for the 3rd week in a row, from 1 to 2 P.M., a special live broadcast will be aired from The New Galilee Church of the Nazarene featuring Pastor Andy Russell. Much like the old drive in movies of years past, Russell plans on preaching from the parking lot and inviting people to pull up, park, and tune the car radio in to 1230 WBVP, 1460 WMBA or 99.3 F.M. to hear his special Easter Sunday message.

All six segments will air on WBVP, WMBA, 99.3 F.M. and The Beaver County Radio Live Audio Stream.
