Westport Meeting Newsletter, March 19, 2021

Hello Friends,  Reminder: Monthly Meeting for Business will be held on Sunday, March 21, at 8 AM. Please save the date and time and join us. A Zoom link for Business Meeting was emailed to today, March 19, and will be emailed again early Sunday morning before Monthly Meeting for Business.

Midweek worship will continue to be offered each week on Wednesdays at 3:30 PM. Please note that the link for midweek worship is not the same as our regular worship on Sunday. A link for joining Midweek worship (which is the same link each week) will be emailed each week on Wednesday mornings. To insure security, we never post Zoom links on websites or portals visible to the general public.

Please use the Zoom link that was emailed to you to attend SUNDAY worship at 10 AM

10:00 AM – Worship via Zoom and in the meetinghouse: (Zoom links were emailed to you!)

Worship within the meetinghouse and worship online via Zoom will take place each week at 10 AM. Video and audio will be in use within the meetinghouse using Zoom, so that Friends worshipping online and in the meetinghouse can remain connected throughout worship. Randy Wirth will provide oversight of setup and care of worship in the meetinghouse this week. 

Continue worshipping online: (Zoom links were emailed to you!)

Please plan to connect by 9:50 AM in order to settle into worship by 10 AM. If you have questions or experience difficulty connecting to Zoom please contact Gretchen Baker-Smith via email or cell phone at 508-287-6441.
