Worship last week, as most of you know, had to be cancelled because I did not think through a backup plan in the event that the teleconference service we use, Zoom, stopped working, which it did.
Starting this week, I will publish a backup link along with our Zoom link. I will publish that in the Newsletter, in our bulletin, and in our church calendar. You can join a zoom meeting using the church calendar simply by clicking on the event you want to join and then clicking on the “Join Zoom Meeting” button.
The backup option will utilize Google’s new teleconferencing platform called Google Meet. The advantage to using Google Meet as a back up is that it is immediate. You do not need to have a google account, nor do you need to download anything. The worship service, and all of us, would appear in tiles in your browser window. The disadvantages are several in my opinion and so will remain only a backup option for worship.
