Dear Fourth Church,
Are you one of the several hundred people who make use of the 9:30 a.m. service livestream each week? Here are some helpful tips:
-
You can always access the livestream at 4thpres.org/livestream. You'll find that link every week in the Worship Services section of this email.
- The link to the livestream page is always the same. Bookmark the page in your web browser for easy access.
-
Another option is to subscribe to Fourth's YouTube channel. View from your computer or use the YouTube app on your smart TV.
-
No internet service? Dial 855-217-0187 to listen "live" or on demand on your phone (a speaker phone makes for the best experience).
More notes for this week:
-
This Sunday, November 21, will be Pastoral Intern Nate Robbins' last Sunday with us as he and his wife prepare to relocate to South Carolina. Nate will be serving at the 11:00 a.m. service. Please take a moment to greet him and express thanks for his service at Fourth.
