Because of the current Covid-19 virus crisis and for the safety of our participants and the larger community, we have suspended all in-person gatherings on campus.

A New Creating
This week, we sat with Hagar in the wilderness and wondered about creating promise out of pain. You can watch the worship service here. Next Sunday, we will engage one of the most troubling texts in scripture, the willingness of Abraham to kill his own son Isaac.
You can join us live by Zoom, you can watch us on our Facebook page, or you can call in to 646.558.8656 and, when requested, enter 694 868 547.

Fellowship Hour
Have you been missing out after-worship coffee hour in Studebaker hall? Well, we’re going to try something this week. There won’t be Jupiter Donuts or biscuits and gravy or bagels or even, well, coffee. HOWEVER, we are going to gather virtually Sunday after our worship service for a physically-distanced fellowship hour on Zoom.
After our service, you will have to leave “the sanctuary” and enter “the fellowship hall” by following this link or by dialing 646-558-8656 and entering
meeting ID: 954 880 8629.

Needing Help With Zoom?
It has been a challenge for most of us to learn new technologies in such a short period of time. Sometimes it feels like we're in Disney World's Carousel of Progress, but it's spinning way faster than it should. If you're still having difficulty with signing on Zoom, here is a tutorial that might be
helpful.

Facebook
First, go to our page and "Like" us. However, just liking us does not mean that you will see everything we post. Each of our Facebook posts only goes to about 2% of the people who like our page. To make sure you see everything, after you like us, go to the pull-down menu on the "Like" button and click
"Get Notifications." This way everything that we post will show up on your own Facebook wall. If you are on Facebook, you can keep up with what is happening "between Sundays" on our Facebook page.
| Facebook Live
As much as we love gathering together on Sunday mornings, there are times when we are out of town or otherwise unable to be there in person.
You can now watch our worship service live on Facebook right on your computer, tablet, or smart phone. At 10:30 on Sunday just head over to our Facebook page and join us!
