• Just click on the above link at 10:00am.
• You can enter a few minutes early and wait in the waiting room.
• You do not have to have a Zoom acount.
• You will have opportunity to have your computer webcam on or off.
• That being said, having your webcam on will give us a sense of being together that we do not have when cameras are off.

• First, let me say it will be great, because we will be “together!”
• Second, it is not going to be a slick production. Just as on a normal Sunday, we are not putting on a show, we are worshipping together.
• Third, it will be a simple time of worship with Table and Word. It will have some of the same flow that we usually have when we are together. We will begin with the shepherd’s welcome and conclude with you having the opportunity to pray with one of the elder couples.
• Fourth, it is BYOC (bring your own communion), so have your communion cups that we distributed ready or otherwise provide your own supplies.
• Fifth, you will be given a couple of ways to give. We believe we will have opportunities to minister in new ways during and after this emergency. We are aware of personal financial difficulties that we want to address. And of course, we have our regular expenses to pay.

If you get a message that says”unstable internet connection,” you might want to try to limit the number of computers and phones connected to the WIFI you are using in your house. You might want to turn off the WIFI connection on your phone temporarity.

Our first attempts at using Zoom have been very positive (Last Wednesday’s adult class and youth group); however, we anticipate this Sunday there could be hundreds of churches using this platform for the first time. If Zoom crashes, we have a plan B, I will make an audio recording of the sermon and post it on the Lafayette website. Listening instructions will be posted at lafayettechurch.org. Last week we had about 120 downloads of the sermon by Lafayette folks. This week that is a plan B that I hope we don’t have to resort to using.
