We have arrived! The Welcoming Ministry now has its own blog–and this is it!! Yip! Yip! And, Yahoo!! Okay, there’s nothing here yet except a small blurb under the About tab, but there is much we can do.
For example, the schedules for Blue Weeks and Red Weeks, as well as contact information for everyone on the Welcoming Team (all behind a secure password available to you–you should have received it in your email) will always be there for you if you need it–it’s already available under the Schedule tab. And the information will always be the most current available.
In addition to that, I will be providing you with weekly updates on the site that will be informative and thought provoking–sometimes even humorous. I will also post my quarterly letter on the site and could even change it to monthly. (Can’t you just feel the excitement!) And, I’m going to be sneaking around with my camera so I can put your pictures on the site, as well. You can run but you can’t hide!
And here’s something else we can do that should be fun: I meet many new people and hear all kinds of uplifting things from our guests and members every single week. I’m sure you do to. So, we’re going to have a place to post testimonies–yours and those that you hear from others. If you’ll email them to me, I’ll put them out there for everyone to read.
The way the site looks right now is nothing like the way it will look in six weeks or six months from now. It will grow and with your ideas, it will become a place you will want to check frequently.
Finally, your weekly reminder emails will become a little shorter because mostly what you will be getting is a link to the weekly update, so not only will you be able to see the update when you get your email, you will be able to refer back to the updates anytime you want.
So, here it is. Our first post. Hope you like it. Check back often!
