Social Rooms and FunI want to turn your attention to our Social Events happening every evening during Convention. On both Friday and Saturday Night we will be hosting a Zoom meeting for social activities. The password for this is: SCNA2021   

· At the end of each organized activity you are welcomed to participate in evening meditation that will take place in the same Zoom room, to close out your day. 
· On Sunday, June 27th, after Convention has closed, we will open up a Zoom Room welcome to everyone. This will be unstructured and is meant to be a place and time for us to come together with our friends who we may not have seen in some time. 
· All Zoom Rooms can be joined by going to the 2021Convention website Schedule page here: https://convention2021.swedenborg.org/event-listing/

The following events will also be broadcast to Facebook. Please note that we will NOT be monitoring the “Chat” on Facebook. If you are having trouble joining the webinar for some reason (or if you just prefer the interface), you can watch these events here at their scheduled times:
