The FMC Members Email List is basically an
email distribution list that provides a way of sending an email message to
all those who have elected to be "on" the list. The Members Email List is designed
to work with the Phone Chain since some members do not have email.
In addition it allows the users to handle their own maintenance tasks such
as adding and removing of your own email addresses. The FMC members list is
open for any attendee to join, however as a safety precaution, all
subscribers are reviewed before being allowed on the list.
The email address you use to subscribe will not be available on the
internet for any outside users to see.
Follow the simple steps below
"How to Add My Email" to subscribe and get on the list.
You can also see
"How to Remove My Email" to unsubscribe and get
off the list. As always, if you need any help email us at
techsupport@frazermennonite.org

Notification Method #1
In "non-urgent" cases you can send an email to the Members Email List
and then only those who do not have email will need to be notified by
telephone.
Please contact Lois Huston with your message to activate the limited
telephone chain.
Notification Method #2 (for urgent
messages)
We realize that everyone does not check email everyday. If you have an
urgent request that people may not receive in a timely manner by email, then
activate the FULL telephone chain. In addition, an email should also be sent
to the Members Email List. Please contact
techsupport@frazermennonite
if you are
unable to send the email message yourself.

FMC to subscribe to the list?
Answer: No
Question: How do I find out who is on
the list, who will get the emails?
Answer: Since we don't publish the email list addresses on the web for
privacy/abuse reasons, you can't find out. We will publish
occasionally the number of people who are subscribed. The list is
another means of communication and the list makes it easier to reach
everyone at once.
Question: What types of email
information can I send?
Answer: Prayer requests, updates on health, urgent announcements,
last-minute or mid-week changes or additions to meeting times, etc.
Basically anything "church-related". The email list is not to
be used for jokes, political statements, personal advertising, "for sale"
items, etc.
Question: If I add my email address to this list, will hackers and spammers on the internet be able to get it?
Answer: No. This list is not accessible to anyone else on the internet
and is controlled by Frazer Mennonite Church. Since only list members can
send email to the “Members” List, the only risk of being spammed is from
other people at Frazer Mennonite Church.
Question: If I opt in to the list, will I still get prayer chain
messages?
Answer: If the requests are urgent, then the entire telephone chain will
be used as well as the members email list. If the request is for
something several days in the future then the members email list only may be
used along with a phone call to those who do not have email.

Answer: You may subscribe as many email addresses or wireless text
messaging devices (pagers & cell phones) as you wish.
