How to adapt to changing times with Simon Sinek…
Back in February 2001, nearly 20 years ago, I registered the domain name itsforministry.org – IT’s for Ministry. Initially this was a place to host “Talks to Children”. Talks2Children.itsforministry.org is still there, with some Children’s Address type ideas. It hasn’t been updated for a while!
IT, Information technology has supported the ministry of the Church in many ways in recent decades, and now in the midst of the Covid19 outbreak we are making use of various virtual mission and pastoral opportunities for Church.
I’ll post some helpful links and tips here… as we negotiate steep learning curves… into the world of Digital Ministry.

Some interesting thoughts regarding maintaining good internet connection
Many of us are on a learning curve with the various video conference possibilities during this time…
Zoom provide on-line advice at this link:

It’s not as complicated as you may think to get up and running with Zoom! To join a meeting you DO NOT require to have a ZOOM account and login.
To use Zoom you will need:
When someone invites you to a Zoom call, they will likely send you a link that looks like https://zoom.us/j/1010101010
If you are using a laptop or desktop computer and don’t have the Zoom app yet, when you click on the link the client will automatically download and then connect you to the call. If you already have the client, you will just be connected to the call.
If you will be using smartphone or tablet, you will need to download the Zoom app from the App Store.
If you are using a laptop or desktop computer, go to https://zoom.us/download where you can download the a for your machine. Install it the way you would install any software.
If you are using a smartphone or tablet, go to the iOS App Store or Google Play, and download the app.
if you have an iPad, iPhone or other iOS Device, go to the App Store and download the free Zoom Cloud app. Then when you click on the zoom link provided by the person hosting, the video call should begin. You may be asked to enable audio, microphone and camera… click OK to any such questions.
If you have an Android device, go to the Google Play store and download the free Zoom Cloud app. Following the link (provided by the host) will open the video call in the app… you may have to enable microphone and camera and should respond OK/YES if requested.
If on a laptop or desktop, clicking the link (provided by the host) will open a browser page, and if you don’t already have the app it will be automatically installed – you should follow the screen prompts and enable camera and microphone if asked.
If a Linux user, you presumably know what you are doing and have ZOOM installed already! 🙂
If you can help to improve and perfect these notes, please comment here, Thank you.
Had second thoughts about that Facebook post, just noticed a typo, spelling mistook, or the effects of auto-correct?
