One of the common methods used are communication mediums such as e-mail or phone. We ask members to please take precaution when reviewing and responding to text messages and e-mails they receive including text messages\/e-mails from church representatives. In regards to church emails our vicar (Santhosh Achen), secretary and trustees have specific church e-mail accounts: <strong>Vicar:<\/strong> vicar@detroitmarthoma.org or 248-792-1134 (Mobile) <strong>Secretary:<\/strong> sec@detroitmarthoma.org <strong>Trustees:<\/strong> trustees@detroitmarthoma.org. The Vicar, Secretary, and Trustees have their own personal e-mail which they rarely use to communicate parish related matters. If any member is suspicious or uncomfortable with a text message or email they have received from a church representative we ask that you do not respond and instead contact the church representative by phone or in -person. Also please note the Vicar or office bearers will <strong>NEVER<\/strong> ask for any personal information (ex. bank account or credit card number) or request for purchases to be made on their behalf via text message or email. We have recently been made aware of a scam e-mail that was sent out using the name of a church representative and therefore we are recommending appropriate precautions by parish members. If you have any further questions please contact the church office bearers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"background-color: #eae7e7;\">Live Streaming of Church Events<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Live streaming will be available on the church YouTube channel &#8211;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/@DetroitMarthomaChurch\">https:\/\/youtube.com\/@DetroitMarthomaChurch.<\/a>\u00a0 After clicking the link, click on &#8220;Live&#8221; and find the livestream for the respective church event.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">We will do our very best to live stream all church events, however as this is dependent on trained volunteers, there may be technical interruptions and occasions where live streaming is not available.
