We have set up a St Stephen’s space on Microsoft Teams.
This is a closed and regulated community that only our church congregation can access and allows us to post messages, prayers requests to the whole community and also chat to each other or in small groups via video, phone or text message. By joining you are sharing a form of contact (your teams email address) with other members of the church. As with the Sunday services we will be able to moderate people on the platform and block people who abuse the space. I realise many of you will be comfortable with signing up to this kind of platform and will want to benefit from the interaction it can provider, equally we recognise that a number of people won’t want to and would rather stay in touch via the website and regular bulletins which will continue.
If you’d like to join the teams page then
• Download teams https://teams.microsoft.com/downloads
• Sign up for teams using your email address (its free)
There are a few steps to signing up for teams that are mostly straightforward. You will also need to wait to be approved to join by a moderator so that we protect our safeguarding responsibilities
If you are struggling to make this work please drop Richard, ’Tola or Andy a line and we will will help you through it!
