Welcome with instructions
Welcome to the Announcements subgroup of IMMRSF, one of three subgroups. (The other two are Community and Witness.) All your groups and subgroups in the groups.io platform are listed at the top of you
Welcome to the Announcements subgroup of IMMRSF, one of three subgroups. (The other two are Community and Witness.) All your groups and subgroups in the groups.io platform are listed at the top of your browser (in the blue band area) under "Your Groups." This subgroup is for Meeting announcements only. Please keep announcements to things pertaining to events of the IMM and other Quaker bodies. The email address announcements@IMMRSF.groups.io ( community@IMMRSF.groups.io ) can be used to distribute messages to the Announcements subgroup of IMMRSF. You can control how you want to receive your email, if at all!, using the "Subscription" menu to the left. It is easy to view messages here, regardless of whether or how you are receiving messages over email. You can choose between several defaults to view the message board . The dark blue button at the top left of the message board default setting is "Topics" which displays only the existing topics. If there is a number next to the topic name, it's the number of replies under the topic. To view the replies under a given topic, click on the topic name and the messages will be expanded and displayed in the order they were posted. The display order can be reversed with the most recent reply displayed first by clicking the "Date" button at the top right of the message window. This also applies to all viewing modes. Click the dark blue button and a menu appears - "Messages", "Expanded" and "Polls" (top to bottom). Selecting "Messages" lists messages displaying only the amount of text that will fit the width of the window. Selecting "Expanded" displays all messages with full content, the most recent at the top. Again, the display order can be reversed by clicking the "Date" button. Arrows at the top right, when appropriate, can be used to scroll through by clicking the appropriate button. The last choice "Polls" probably won't be used much here but would work the same as the others. The next button, "Search" works just like the search does in many applications. The small button that looks kind of like a funnel (can't figure that one out) opens up a hidden menu that allows you to view messages, etc., over a default span of time from the menu or a customized time range you can specify. A nice feature that is available to you, because I enabled it when I set up this Group, is the ability to edit your message/replies after they have been sent. So if you mess up when you send something to the Group, you don't need to panic and/or repost you can go back and fix/edit it. Just go to the message and under the message there is a bar with "Reply", "Like" and "More" buttons. Click the "More" button, a menu pops up and click "Edit Message". Make your changes and select one of the options at the bottom, you can even delete the message all together if you want to. Funny thing is there's also a box to explain how you screwed up in the first place, though I don't really know if any one would notice.

August 2 the Third St. Meetinghouse will once again have in-person worship! We have room for 22 socially distanced people in worshipping at our Third St meeting house. We feel led to make sure that as a welcoming community we leave some seats for those who may just show up. So.... we are making plans for 18 people who have signed up ahead of time. If you would like to join us, here's what you need to do: 1. Email me and let me know you'd like to come - we need to know in advance who is coming: firetendercarol@.... 2. Agree to wear a mask the whole time you are in the Meetinghouse and enter through the kitchen (unless you need to use the ramp). 3. Agree to wash your hands or use hand sanitizer and fill out a simple COVID screening form as you arrive (please bring your own pen or pencil to do this). 4. Agree to bring your own cushion if you want a cushion and disinfect the chair you sit in at the end of Worship (we'll provide materials), or bring a sheet or towel to place on the chair you sit in. The upholstered chairs will not be available for the time being. 5. Agree to maintain social distance from others as you arrive and as you leave and not to approach anyone at any time in the building - please take conversations outside. We will also ask everyone as they arrive if they will volunteer to help disinfect surfaces on common areas at the close of Worship (probably no more than 10 minutes of more disinfecting). Please also email me if you have any questions about any of this. Thank you! Carol Clarke for the COVID Working Group Where is God in this picture? God is all over the place. God is up there, down here, inside my skin and out. God is the web, the energy, the space, the light ...revealed in that singular, vast net of relationship that animates everything that is. . . . Barbara Brown Taylor The only way out and through—for either side of any dualism ...—is a kind of universal forgiveness of Reality for being what it is; it thus becomes the bonding glue of grace which heals all the separations ...
