Whitehorse Church of the Nazarene |
In conjunction with the twice-monthly free clothing room, the Church of the Nazarene is offering a twice-monthly free Computer Clinic.
The Computer Clinic will provide many free services for any person who need help with their computer.
Examples of services include: hardware installations, memory upgrades, software upgrades (i.e., anti-virus), re-installation of operating systems, backup of critical data, problem solving, general computer usage instruction, free parts to enhance computers and unbiased consulting also provided to persons looking to buy a computer. Everything will be provided freely by experienced non-professional computer users.
Why are we doing this? Because we believe this is one modern way of “offering a cup of cold water” in the name of Jesus. Not everyone can afford to take their computer to a professional for upgrades or repairs. We’re doing as Jesus instructed: “do to others as you would have them do to you”.
The Computer Clinic will be offered at the same time as our free clothing room; twice a month on the first and third Saturday, from 10:00 am to Noon, at the Church of the Nazarene (2111 Centennial Street in Porter Creek).
It is strongly recommended that people call ahead of time and describe their problem or need so that the required equipment or software be available. At no time will pirated or unlicensed copies of software be used or installed.
It will not be necessary for persons to bring all their equipment in. In most cases, if they bring their main computer case and any software they have (especially an operating system CD) that will be enough. Monitor, mouse, keyboard, speakers, etc will be provided here.
Donations of computer parts are appreciated, however persons will need to call first before bringing in any parts to make sure we can use what they have (not too outdated). Anything donated will likewise be donated to others. If a business would like to help this program by providing high-speed internet, that would certainly be helpful as well.
For more information, or for persons to reserve a time slot for help, please call Pastor Norman at 633-4903.
