We are planning to discuss Brother Gregory William's book, 'Thy Kingdom Comes.' Paul Bethke - PCM from Wisconsin, also Minister of Record for His Church at Lake Country - is on our call regularly, and will be available to answer questions. This study call is scheduled for one hour, though we have been known to stay on longer. We will continue where we left off in the book the next week. The discussion is always interesting, and we enjoy the interaction with folks across the country. If you want to join in, but don't have a copy of 'Thy Kingdom Comes,' please let us know by email, and we will send it to you as an attachment.
If you have scheduling conflicts, and would like to listen to the most recent call...

Skype access
This conference call service allows direct access using Skype. This can allow Skype users to call in directly and can save money on long distance or cell phone minutes.
Connecting directly via Skype:
Before the call, add a contact to your Skype "Contacts" list. The Skype ID for this contact is "freeconferencecallhd.5597261300". You should receive a very fast approval and it will appear in your "Contacts" list. Once it's there you can connect just like making any other Skype call.
There is one twist. In order to join the call, you need to enter the Access Code of "321346#" once you're connected. But when you are connect this way there is no keypad evident to press the buttons. To make the keypad appear, go to the "Call" menu at the top of the screen and select "Show Dial Pad". Then you can enter the Access Code.
The other thing to be aware of is that it seems the conference call service doesn't always accept Skype calls.
- Sometimes the contact status will show as "Offline" and you will not be able to connect.
- Sometimes the contact status will show as "Offline", yet you WILL still be able to connect (even though "Voice message" appears).
- Sometimes the contact status will show as "Online" and you can connect.
- And sometimes you can connect but the call will drop.
The wonders of technology... Calling in using the telephone number is still the most reliable way. Until we find a more reliable Skype conference service, this is the best we have.
