Howdy All!! Hop you are well!!
I will host a Thursday 7 PM Companionship Leader ZOOM meeting EVERY THURSDAY (except Maundy Thursday). This is the next one:
Thursday, April 2, 2020 @ 7 PM - Same code as Wednesday Bible Study
Dial 346.248.7799
Meeting ID: 433 635 2099
The focus of the meeting is THREEFOLD:
1) Fixing Zoom Glitches
Easy as possible to CONNECT:
One code for SUNDAY
Sunday at 11 AM
One code for LEADING and Growing
Wednesday Bible Study at 7 PM
Thursday Companion Leader at 7 PM
Use HEADPHONES, preferably with built-in Microphone
Download Zoom App and LEADERS can be SEEN
MUTE when you are not talking (hard to do without the APP)
Assign a Companion Leader to folks who are struggling to connect (see #3)
ALSO:
Test Music Files and Videos - Best way to upload?
Link? Embed uploaded Video? MP3?
2) Setting up Holy Week MARY & JESUS Worship: Jewish Worship was based in the HOME
LIVE: Palm Sunday Zoom Reader’s Drama
LIVE: Wednesday Zoom Bible Study on Passover
PHOTO: Maundy Thursday SEDER Video (Text or FB Pic at Table)
VIDEO: Good Friday Facebook CANDLE Lighting (Text or FB Video Blessing)
LIVE: Easter Sunday is a COMMUNION SUNDAY
COMMUNION = Pastor Shares Words of Institution; Family provides the Elements
MUST be BREAD (Bread of Life) AND WINE/JUICE (Fruit of the Vine)
3) Mt. Olive phone tree, starting with council and branching out. Way to stay connected to those who can’t Zoom or Facebook
LIVE: Easter Sunday is a COMMUNION SUNDAY
COMMUNION = Pastor Shares Words of Institution; Family provides the Elements
MUST be BREAD (Bread of Life) AND WINE/JUICE (Fruit of the Vine)
We WILL need an e-mail council vote on extending timeframe for Zoom Worship to INDEFINITE
Unanimous ELCA Bishop recommendations are to “suspend in person worship indefinitely”, but assume that’s ALL of April and likely into May.
The email below is from the Houston Bishop will be here.
Bishop Gronberg’s (Dallas) will be here.
The minutes for the Council March 18 minutes will be here. Included will be the amended language incorporating the Bishop's and Governor's recommendations. Should only need email or text approval. But we can set up a Zoom call if you like.
Blessings,
Todd
