I am testing out ministry management software called Churchdirector.com. We hope to use this for all ministry’s within the church. So far, it looks fairly straight forward. However, I have to “invite” volunteers. It would be nice if I could create an account for them on my own.
I am learning that people really like the opportunity to communicate about many things at all times of the day. In the past few days, I have witnessed or commented on the following:
Youth asking others to come and volunteer unload pumpkins at our pumpkin patch
Someone else at the pumpkin unloading saw my post with [...]
What marvelous words, those three are. To bring us closer to God, God enters our remembrance of Him through words that we can relate to that remind us of the beginning of a season, a time, a place, a relationship. It almost has the feel of “Once upon a time” where Eden was that idyllic [...]

My church has been using FB for quite a few months now and I am still astounded how much conversation takes place between Sunday services.

And I think it will set the future course of the Episcopal Church here in the USA. As a late comer to the party, I am still feeling my way around this church. I have found much to my liking. I have also found some things I profoundly dislike and find distasteful. However, this [...]
The youth group finished a new video for uploading this weekend. However, I have learned a few things during this process:
It’s sometimes hard to control the program you used to make the video. We used iPhoto for the second one and we could not identify how to move a picutre’s sequence.
The video file is quite [...]
Over the weekend my wife and I attended a renewal course for one of our yearly foster parenting courses. Fortunately for us, we have done this one a few times so we expected to get out early. Unfortunately, TX DOT was doing road construction on the highway and we ended up being a half hour [...]
