Worship Team

What’s New?
  • ECMN is graciously providing sermons by Bishop Loya and Missioners for the last 5 Sundays After the Epiphany. Congregations may use one, a few, many or none. St Mary’s will be incorporating 4 of these sermons into our Zoom services, starting this Sunday, January 17th, with Rev Canon Robert Two Bulls preaching.
  • Have you ever wondered how some people become Readers for our Sunday morning worship services? If you would like to be a Reader now and then, send Anne Green an email at georgeanne1376@yahoo.com. All people (including kids) are invited to be Readers.
  • Do you know everyone who logs in to Sunday morning worship services?  Or might you wonder who that second person on the screen is? Who’s here this morning?? By putting names of all those in your household who are participating in the service on your screen (even those we can’t see), you help us know how many people are attending the service. It’s kind of like wearing your name tag!  It’s more hospitable and inclusive as well.  If you’d like to do this, arrive at the service a little early; on your pc or laptop, click on “Participants” at the bottom of the Zoom screen.
    • Participants: See who’s currently in the meeting and invite others. You can also access to these options:
      • Rename: Hover over your name, click More, and choose Rename to change your screen name displayed to other participants. (Zoom Support) 
Feedback is welcome!
We welcome your feedback and recommendations about worship services.
