There is just no getting around the fact that our world, our ministries have in large part, gone the way of the information superhighway. The graphic above is crystal clear addressing the “Someone’s out there” who are seeking the love and location for worship of the risen Lord through cyberspace, and we need to be ready to welcome them.
As servant leaders we must evolve along with those looking for this love and grace of Jesus Christ and go to where the spirit leads.
Without getting too technical and in an effort to assist all our congregations in this endeavor our District Webpage will soon undergo a major undertaking and become the tool you expect to help you make this happen. What I would want us to do now if you’re not already is to take a good look at the information on your webpage (or create one, the District Communications Committee can help), ensure the link is current and up to date with the District Office, and that we recruit, train and encourage leaders who can use this technology as an outreach tool within our communities.
Once the District Webpage is completed it will have the means to link to each church on the web so those who seek a place of worship can search you out, will we be ready? Will the excitement of your worship, activities and ministerial programs jump from the page and excite the passion for those looking? I know they will.
I’ll be on bended knee asking for God’s watchful presence so that we seize the opportunity to reach that one person, that one family lost in the world ready to connect with a vibrant, loving church family, in fact, I’m all googled up about it <><
