Worship will be less formal, and a bit more homey. Feel free to dress up or come in your pajamas or leave your video off if you prefer that privacy.
Bring your cats, your dogs, your stuffed animals. Bring your own chalice to light if you like.
We suggest dialing in a bit early in case you need to troubleshoot.

We know not everyone is confident meeting online, so we want to make it as simple as possible. We will be using Zoom for many of our gatherings, which can be used with a regular phone as a phone call, a smart phone, or a computer where you can see and hear everyone.
If it is your first time using Zoom, we recommend starting 10-15 minutes early to get set up.
