Welcome to the GSPC Coronavirus Survival Guide. On this page you will find instructions for how to use Zoom Video Conferencing to join in our online activities, which of our activities will continue to be held and other useful information and announcements.

How to use Zoom Video Conferencing

All of our events that have not been canceled will be held virtually using Zoom Video Conferencing. Here's a quick guide for how to use Zoom:

In order to join a Zoom event, you will need an invitation. To be invited, email Rev. Ralph and request an invitation. He will send you an email containing the information about the event. It will look something like this:

Ralph Clingan is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

Topic: Friday Men's Bible Study
Time: Mar 20, 2020 07:30 AM Mountain Time (US and Canada)

Join Zoom Meeting
https://zoom.us/j/603068088?pwd=TTNSWTVIZU5IU3Q

Meeting ID: 603 068 088
Password: 166403

 

To join the event, click on the link in the email. The Zoom website will open and, if you have downloaded and installed the Zoom app on your device, you will be asked if you want to join through the app. If you haven't installed the Zoom app, you will be given the opportunity to do so or to join through your browser. If you plan to join multiple events, installing the Zoom app will make joining events faster. If you prefer to use your browser, you will be asked to enter the Meeting ID and Password and will then be taken to the meeting. You can also navigate to zoom.us sing your browser and click on Join A Meeting at the top.

All events will include live video so if you have a webcam you are welcome to use it but, if you prefer, you can join via audio only. If you don't have a computer, smartphone or tablet, you can also dial in on any telephone at 253 215 8782 or one of the other numbers that will be listed in the invitation and you will be able to participate by phone.

While we won't be together, we can continue to join together to learn from and support each other until life returns to something resembling normalcy.

Giving

Even though we are not meeting together, our work and ministries continue. We still have salaries and utilities that have to be paid and hope that all of our congregation and friends will help us to continue our work.

There are ways that you can maintain your giving even if we don't meet at church. You can give by mail, bill pay through your bank or by using our online giving page. To see how you can give "remotely", please visit our Giving page and scroll down to Treasure.

We thank you for your continued support.
