Zoom Instructions
For those who can't participate in our in-person services, we are using Zoom to connect online for services, classes, and other activities. (There is no charge.) Chrome and Firefox browsers seem to work best. Zoom passwords are case-sensitive.
Please choose the setting in your profile that allows your name to appear on screen. Remember that other Zoom meeting participants can see the backdrop of your home, and what you're wearing. You can mute your audio so that background noise in your home can't be heard by meeting participants. "Unmute" when you wish to be heard.
