First Call ministers,
Greetings! I would like to remind you that we will gather for an informal meeting on Monday, November 15, 2021, at THIS NEW TIME: 8-9pm ET / 7-8pm CT, via ZOOM. (This is a half hour later than previously designated.) Thought it is informal, this will provide a great opportunity to just share with one another.
Sorry to change the time at the last minute, by 1/2 hour, but it will make my life a lot easier. This way, I don't have to jump between zoom calls...(I have a Youth Gathering that was going to overlap with this call...but not anymore.)
