Livestreaming Our 8:45 AM Service
Changes begin 4/7

Those of you who livestream our Sunday services will notice a few changes after Easter. As of 4/7, we’ll be streaming our 8:45 service to YouTube rather than Facebook Live.
None of these changes will affect how our parishioners access the video. That process remains completely unchanged- Log in to Facebook and search for “St. Paul’s Episcopal Church.” Once you’re on our page, scroll down the timeline and a link will be posted just prior to the beginning of the service. We’ll also provide a direct link to our YouTube channel, and technical support worksheets upon request.  Anyone having any difficulty, is welcome to contact our Communications Coordinator, Eric Foster at communications@stpaulsbenicia.org
