If you already use Chrome as your go to browser you may want to create a separate profile for your @wsgoc.org account. This will make sure that both your personal and work activities are kept desperate for your church account. The link below will tell you how to make this happen. Once you create your separate account you will have a new Chrome icon on your desktop. One will automatically sign you into your personal account while the other will sign you into your church account.Â
After logging into a site it may ask if you want Chrome to remember the password. If you get this message click yes. Next time you go to that site your password will either already be filled or an option from a drop down menu. You can also find your passwords in Chrome settings.

USE THE BCC FIELD WHEN SENDING EMAILS TO MORE THAN 5 PEOPLE
***THIS IS A SECURITY RULE***
BCC (blind carbon copy) allows you to hide the addresses of email recipients from each other. Entering an address in the BCC field makes it invisible to other recipients of that email.
When you send an email the person who receives the email will see a message from "Annunciation" then the name of your ministry. For example if you are GOYA everyone will see a message from Annunciation GOYA. If you would like to have your name in the email please create a signature line which you can learn more about in the next topic.
A signature line is automatically applied to the bottom of an email. For example:
In Christ,
Your Name Here
GOYA Advisor
