FCOTList4

Join our email group called FCOTList4 to get all the latest announcements and events!

Mostly, this email group will be used to announce Sunday church, with the speaker’s name, to announce classes (sometimes the evening class is closed), to announce other events, and we don’t know what else. This email group is evolving.

You can also print this page in your browser for future reference. Or just make a bookmark to this page.

What is an email group?

An “email group” makes it easier to send an email message to many people by using only a single group email address. Like a magazine that you subscribe to, you must subscribe to an email group or someone must subscribe you. All the messages you get from the group will go to your email Inbox. When you don’t want to receive the emails from the email group you can also unsubscribe any time you want.

Instructions were given to every person on the list in their “Welcome message”. Please save these instructions as you will need them later. You can bookmark this page which has all the instructions you need for this particular email group called FCOTList4.

Our new email list FCOTList4 is read-only for most members. Only the board can post to it. The special email address is “FCOTList4@googlegroups”. Everyone in the group will get the email. To check that you did it right, wait 5 minutes and then go to the FCOTList4 messages and you should see your message there.

Note

  1. Your email address will be shown to help control spammers.
  2. If you have to send your email address to the group, change your email address in the body of the email so it looks like this general format: myname(at)myemail.com. You are changing the “@” sign into something else that will not work with email spammers.

How to subscribe and get the email messages

To subscribe. Pick one of these 3 methods.

  1. Method 1: Go to the website FCOTList4, sign in with your free Google account. Search for the group “FCOTList4”. Subscribe to it.
  2. Method 2: Get your valid email address to Pastor Bill or Helen or the webmaster (Chuck). The webmaster will be able to subscribe you in most cases. In some cases you will get an invitation where you will follow the instructions in the email to subscribe.

If you don’t see the confirmation or invitation message, check your Junk or Spam email folders.

If you still don’t see the confirmation email, contact the webmaster on our Contact Us page in the menu at the top of each page here. Make sure to put a subject of “Tried to subscribe to FCOTList”. Then in the body of the message explain what you did, and what happened.

After you confirm your subscription, you will get a Welcome message, and you are done! Keep this welcome message as it has instructions you will need later. We do not have messages every day, so please be patient. All messages will have in the subject “[FCOTList4]” so you know it’s from the email group.

Filter these emails into a special folder for later reading

You can also put all messages from our list into a new email folder so your Inbox is less cluttered. Then read the email list folder later.

The instructions for making a new email folder, and making a filter are different for all email clients so I can only provide a general list of steps to follow here.

  1. Open your email program.
  2. Make a new email folder, call it “FCOTStuff”.
  3. Make a new email filter.
  4. Set the filter so if the subject of the email contains “[FCOTList]”, then save it in the new email folder you just made called “FCOTStuff”. Notice I called the email folder “FCOTStuff” so as to make things less confusing.
  5. Your email filter should run on the inbox every time email is checked. This is the default for most email programs.
  6. Save the email filter.
  7. That’s it! All new messages from our list should go to the email folder FCOTStuff. From now on check that folder for new messages from us.
