VIRTUAL WORSHIP INFORMATION

Bishop Johnson and Pastor J thank you for your continued support and participation

in our corporate worship services. We are working tirelessly to improve your virtual

worship experiences. To better serve you, we now stream on our website, Facebook,

YouTube, Amazon TV and Roku TV exclusively. As streaming services experience

technical issues, you may need to switch from the steaming service of your choice, as

we tackle an issue in real time. So that you will not miss much of the worship

experience, we are providing QR codes and web addresses for you to move

between platforms as quickly as possible. Primarily, our website is up during most

worship services. If you continue to experience issues, restart your device and try

again.

YOU DON’T NEED TO PAY FOR CREDIT MONITORING CALL ONCE EVERY QUARTER OF THE YEAR TO STAY CURRENT.

Many companies that promise free credit reports want to

sign you up for credit monitoring services or other

products.

Federal law requires each of the three nationwide

consumer credit reporting companies—Equifax, Experian

and Transunion—to give you a free credit report every

12 months, if you ask for it. They also make it easy to

accomplish many credit-related tasks right from your

computer.

If you do not have a computer, call the following numbers to access your credit reports:

Equifax - (888) 548-7878

Transunion - (800) 916-8800

Experian - (888) 397-3742

If you have complaints or concerns about a credit monitoring service, contact the Federal Trade

Commission, 877-FTC-HELP.
