VIRTUAL MEETING. In light of this pandemic, we are reassessing our ability as a Presbytery to stay connected and informed when we cannot be together in person. In lieu of the June 9th Stated Meeting of Presbytery, we are inviting you to join in an informal gathering of our Presbytery in order to test the waters of virtual meetings on a Presbytery level. We would like to take this opportunity to catch-up, share ideas and concerns and to help us see how you are doing amidst this time of uncertainty and change. We are planning this virtual meeting via Zoom on Tuesday, June 9, 2020, from 10:00-11:00 am. What we need from you for this to be a success:
·        If you do not have internet access you will be able to call in, but we will need contact information to send the phone numbers to you.
·        Names and email or phone information of your standing commissioners so we can send them the Zoom invitation.
How it works:
·        After receiving your information, we will set the meeting up in Zoom and send you what is called an invitation to the meeting. It will have an easy access link for you to join the meeting.
Where to send your information:
·        Frank Lewis, Stated Clerk, at scuovp@gmail.com or by phone or text at 304-266-8154.
·        Kandy Dunn, Moderator, at bookkeeper.uovp@gmail.com or by phone 304-686-2344 or by text at 304-312-7187.
