COVID-19 is still with us. We’ve had lockdowns, and time that is more normal but with the anxiety of COVID-19 hovering in the background.
We are committed to making our Sunday services available via Zoom. They will be online in lockdown, and online on in-person Sundays too.
We are using Zoom. This allows you to call in with an app on your PC, phone or tablet, or call in via a local landline call, no technology required.
If you’re new to Zoom, it may well go wrong the first time. This isn’t your fault, don’t feel bad about it, just keep calm, carry on, and call into the local number in the to connect with a phone call instructions below. If you want to try out the videoconference in advance of an event, you can, and if you get stuck you can give Donald a call on 04 242 0050.
