Services and Activities 13-19 May 2013
Each service is held on Epiphany Island, in the virtual world of Second Life. The service is usually offered in text and voice format and where a message is preached, it will be in audio (and sometimes text) format.
After the service we have a time of fellowship where you can meet people from around the world. If you are new to Second Life you are most welcome! The service and activity times in SL Time (which is the same as Los Angeles).
Dates for your diary: We will be participating in the Hour of Prayer for Fresh Expressions of Church beginning on Sunday at the noon service in the Cathedral and concluding at the Monday noon service which will also be in the Cathedral. Please call in and pray sometime in that period. There will be a slideshow of prayer stimuli and an opportunity to post a prayer. For more details see http://www.freshexpressions.org.uk/prayer
Coming up this week:
DAILY OFFICE PRAYER SERVICES are held in the Meditation Chapel on the south side of Epiphany Island. The Chapel is located at http://slurl.com/secondlife/Epiphany/130/20/25.

FRIDAY SOCIALS - Fridays from 6-8pm - Please join us at the Epiphany Community Center for our Friday Night Social! Take a spin on our open-air dance floor, take a dip in the pool, and groove to the eclectic music of Radio Paradise or to an inspiring selection from our DJ, while meeting up with friends, both old and new. Newbies are very welcome, so come on along and meet some great people! Hope to see you there!
You can find the Community Center at http://slurl.com/secondlife/Epiphany/225/170/72.

If you have an interest in taking a more active role in our ministry we would love to hear from you! On the cathedral signboard is a volunteer box listing many roles which you might be interested in. Do pop in and fill out a notecard and we’ll get back to you to discuss with you further how your gifts might be used within our community.

It was nice meeting you after the service, Patrick.
Mark’s sermon was in ‘Voice Chat’. It may be that you haven’t got it enabled or else your settings may need adjusting.
The first thing to check is if you see little white dots above avatars’ heads. When individuals are using voice chat, green or red bars emanate from those dots giving an indication of volume levels. If you do not see these and know that a person is talking then you will not have Voice Chat enabled. Go to the Preferences page which can be found in the Edit menu at the top of your screen or by pressing CTRL-P.
Select the Voice Chat tab and put a tick in the enable voice chat box.
It’s also worthwhile checking that the sound levels for voice chat are high enough. To do that look to near the bottom right of your screen. There’s a sub-menu for adjusting individual volume levels. Make sure that Voice is set to maximum.
Finally, try turning up your volume in Windows and/or the dial on your speakers – I find that voice chat is typically quiet compared to other SL sounds.
I hope this helps – but do contact me for any more help.

I couldn’t hear audio of the service or Mark’s sermon. I don’t know why I didn’t hear the audio. Anything special I need to do. I’m new to Second Life Anglican Church.

How do I join the Anglican group or do I just show up. I met a Scottish Anglcan in the Cathedral (my first time in SL) and she suggested I contact you as you invited her in
