Have you been invited to a social event recently? Or even more importantly, have you invited people to yours? What about your church services or special events? Of course, you have (I hope). We love to get together. The church is called to this fellowship. God knows we need to be around other...
Churches (and individuals) can quickly extend their ministry by using social media. It’s mostly a free signup and costs you only time. More than three quarters of Americans are using social media so our reach can be amazing. We connect to people who know us and other people who are interested in...
