Join A Class Remotely

Want to join us from home or while traveling? Through the wonderful gift of technology, we’ll have 4 spaces that are enabled with an Owl Camera – a 360 camera and speaker system.

These 4 classes will be able to have full participation from both in-person and at-home participants via Zoom. We’re excited that this will allow folks to join in even if they are traveling or are not yet ready to participate in person.

 

  • Owl-Enabled Classes:
    • Phoenix
    • Ed Greer
    • Rick Brand

Contact Beth Thaxton (bthaxton@fpcraleigh.org) for more information as our 3 Youth classes will share this camera and use as needed for youth who are traveling due to sports or other commitments.
