Student Ministry- Quarantine Edition

Hey Parents!

As you may know, we have been meeting online with students through Zoom meetings. I want to give you a brief introduction into setting up an account for your student.

This is where we are doing our Digital Hangouts (EVERY weekday @12:45 pm) and boot ONLINE (Sundays @5:30 PM) with students. These meetings are password protected and as the host, I will have full access to mute students’ video or audio, allow students to join the group, and the group will end when I exit the meeting. It is a safe way for our group to meet and allows us to continue to build our community.

To Join:
• Go to bcsm513.com and click on the appropriate link (either Digital Hangout or Boot).
• A tab will open up and a download will start for the Zoom program.
• Once downloaded, a screen will pop up to prompt you to put in a password. If you do not have the password yet, message me and I will get it to you.
• After that, a screen will pop up to prompt you to allow video and audio. Click “allow.”
• This will lead you to the meeting and place you in the Waiting Room until the host admits you into the video meeting.

***If none of that works, let me know (eric@bridgetownchurch.com). We are learning this stuff together and we want everyone that wants to be involved to be involved. ***

Note:
• All downloads are free, and you do not need to make an account if you do not want to. All you need is the link for the meeting.
• Please make sure you are able to use the audio on your device.
• You may need to manually give the app permission in your phone settings.
