Interactive Time of Prayer
Sunday, March 29, 11:00 a.m. (Opens at 10:30 a.m.) on Zoom
Join 30 Minutes early for Zoom support and to chat with our church family. With the "Stay Home - Work Safe" Order issued by Mayor Adler on Tuesday, FUMC will adjust our worship offerings to enable worship leaders to stay home. We are shifting to the ZOOM platform that many of you have already been using for classes and meetings. We understand that some people will need help to get Zoom up and running, and we are here to help. Feedback from other churches who have moved to this model is very positive, and we have positive reviews of large-scale zoom meetings with over 200 participants. This platform will enable us to stay home while still having multiple worship leaders, and—bonus!—everyone will have the opportunity to see other worshippers, not just the pastors. (If you don't want to be seen, you don't have to!) We are excited for this change and we hope you are, too. Plan to join your church family on Sunday for Music, Greeting time, Announcements, Scripture, and a Time for Prayer.

Tips for Zoom
  • Set up a Zoom account if you don't already have one at https://zoom.us/.
  • Review our Zoom Tutorial summarizing the process of downloading the Zoom app and basic meeting controls.
  • Zoom will look for your microphone and video camera. You may need to allow access. If you don't have a microphone or video camera, you can still participate via chat and dial-in using your phone.
  • Zoom works great on tablets and smart phones using the meeting url.
  • Zoom Dial-in #s (when not using computer audio)
  • Any phone number below will work, you will be prompted to input the meeting ID #.
  • +1 669 219 2599 US (San Jose) 
  • +1 971 247 1195 US (Portland) 
  • +1 213 338 8477 US (Los Angeles) 
  • +1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)
  • If you prefer to dial-in by phone to your meeting rather than use the computer audio, please make sure your audio is set to mute so that there is no feedback on the line.
  • Most meetings will likely start with all participants on mute to avoid feedback issues during the sessions.
  • Chat is the easiest way to communicate during a Zoom meeting. You can message 1) everyone or 2) an individual directly.
