Google Accounts
PCO uses a Google Workspace for file sharing and discussion groups. Your PCO interactions will be enhanced if you have a free Google account.
- If your group membership uses a Google account through msu.edu or some other organization that requires additional authentication, when you sign in you will receive a popup for the organization sign-in. If your account is via msu.edu, you can log in at googleapps.msu.edu or via accounts.google.com to authenticate the Google account sign-in via msu,edu.
- If you already have a Google account that is not affiliated with your group membership, your group manager can add that address to the group. Please inform the manager if you want them to remove the existing member account.
- If you do not have a Google account, you can create a free account using the instructions linked below. By default, Google will create a new Gmail account within the new Google account. If you do not want a Google Gmail account, open the link and scroll down to the section “Use an existing email address”. Use your existing email address as your Google username and create a Google password. Any email regarding the Google account will be mailed to the existing email address. You can create a Gmail account within your Google account by skipping the option to “Use an existing email address”. Get a Google Account

Advent House Meal Preparation
The Presbyterian Church of Okemos expects to commit to some dates in 2018 for preparing and serving at Advent House. If you are interested in helping, contact Bill Given.
Here’s a site that has a good variety of recipes for feeding 100+ folks (the pulled pork and the taco bar [with ground beef] caught my attention–other recipes could work as well):

Volunteer meal providers usually provide the entree, including meat, potatoes/rice/pasta, and vegetable (salad is not big with the group but I’ve seen folks enjoy it with ranch dressing and Parmesan cheese); dessert is always popular and engages the bakers among your volunteers. Keep in mind that many folks have dental problems, so it’s best to avoid food that is hard to bite or chew. We have those among our guests who are diabetic and have really appreciated when there is a sugar-free dessert option.
