We are blessed to have Kelly Houston and Levina Fuller joining us to offer practical, expert guidance.
This session will cover everything from first‑time access to Teams, to navigating channels and files, downloading documents, and setting up efficient structures that actually work for parish life.
To help Kelly and Levina tailor the session, could you please email Rev Canon Tania Eichler by Monday 18 May:
