Scroll left on the bar close to the bottom (starting with Home) till you see “Videos”

3. Click on Videos and you see:

4. Click on the “Play” and you will see last week’s service. The Topmost video is current and

under “All Videos” on the same screen.

EasyWaySet up notifications for videos from HCC as shown in the previous picture. A prompt appears under “Hightlights” to do so. When HCC goes live, your phone will show a notification “ Hackberry Creek Church is live now”. You can then go directly to the service.

typical Facebook style. Feel free to shout out similarly.

The timer counts down. If you click the LIVE message ata the top right of the picture, nothing happens at this time. Around 9:20 or so, the picture changes to this (for the current date)

There is music playing from the band, which was prerecorded. At 9:30 Pastor Jonathan Tony is shown coming to the pulpit and the service starts. You do not have to manually refresh your screen. It “just happens”.
