A few notes:
The meeting will open and you are welcome to join us on-line at 10:20 if you want to make sure you are connected. Please have a candle nearby to light at the beginning of the service.
If your video is on, we can see you. All the time, whatever you do. Just remember that 🙂
Most of the time participants will be muted. If you are not speaking, you should be muted and can do that yourself. There will be two points in the service where you will be able to click the “raise hand” function and be recognized to speak. Those are during prayers and reflections. For those on the phone only, you can “raise your hand” by pressing *9.
Though you may not be able to worship in-person with us right now, we value your continued support of GSUCC ministry. The preferred method is to send checks or direct bill pay to Good Shepherd United Church of Christ,1050 NW Maynard Rd., Cary, NC 27513. You may also access on-line giving HERE.
In addition to your regular giving, those who are able are invited to contribute to the Good Shepherd UCC “COVID-19 Fund.” If you have financial needs due to COVID-19 please contact one of our pastors.
I look forward to us joining together once more for worship this Sunday! Our pastors and congregational care team leaders continue to be in touch with folks, but please be sure to let us know if you have any needs. We are in this together!
Grace and Peace,
Pastor Carla
