Coming of Age Ceremony

In our Coming of Age service this Saturday at 3 p.m., courageous 9th graders close out a year of exploration and reflection by sharing what lives in the depths of their hearts, what nourishes their spirits, and what questions captivate their imaginations.

This year promises to be an especially inspiring service — and your presence will be even more meaningful than usual; the gathered congregation serves as loving witnesses as our young people mark this spiritual milestone.

How to Use Zoom to Join the COA Ceremony

1. If you haven’t used Zoom before, you’ll need to download the free Zoom software (or app, if you’re on a smartphone or tablet). It’s called “Zoom Client for Meetings.” It would be a good idea to download it in advance here. (You can find where to download the mobile apps here too – just scroll down a bit.) On your computer, find “Zoom.pkg” (or something similar, like “Zoom.exe”) in your downloads and double-click it and follow the instructions to install the application.
2. Click here to join via Zoom. You’ll be prompted to open (or download) Zoom. Depending on your browser, you may see a message asking if you’d like to allow the browser to open the link in Zoom – choose “allow” or “open.” Enter your name and your email address when prompted. We’ll go live at 3 p.m. and we’ll allow several minutes for folks to join before we start.
3. Know that your microphone will be muted and you will not be seen via video during our livestream.
4. If you experience difficulties with the link in step 2, you can also go here https://zoom.us/join and enter the meeting ID and password: Meeting ID is 858 4827 5225 and the password is 371167.
5. Once there, if you are a bit early, just wait!
6. Optional: once the live stream begins, you will see an icon toward the bottom that says “chat.” If you’d like to participate in the chat, click on the chat icon, and the chat box will appear on the right side of your screen. At the bottom of the chat box in blue, you’ll see To: “All Panelists.” The “panelists” are our worship leaders. Click on “All Panelists” to bring up the menu and instead select “Everyone (in meeting)” to make your comments visible to everyone participating.
