New Vision Notes for Wednesday September 9, 2020
As we continue to gather for Sunday worship on Zoom we will also be evaluating next steps and be providing updates to you before the end of September. We will continue with our phone network to keep in touch with those who are not able to join us virtually on Sundays. This Sunday’s worship service will be lead by Erin Poole. New Vision Virtual Worship is experiential, participatory, image-rich and collective, just like worship in person at New Vision! Join us on Sunday mornings 10:30 am week to week during the Covid-19 emergency by clicking here. If you want to put the link someplace easy to find each week, here it is: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/782292511. Please share it with others and invite them to a “different” kind of time on Zoom from the usual. You can also call in to the gathering on the telephone toll free. Call 1 855 703 8985, then, when prompted, input the Meeting ID 782 292 511 followed by the # sign. Ignore the prompts for Participant ID and Password. You are in when the recorded voice says, “You are in the meeting.”
