MinistryCOM 2010 in Dallas Discount Registration
Posted by: | CommentsYou don’t want to miss MinistryCOM 2010 in Dallas on Oct. 20-22. It’s put on by our friends at Main Street Enterprises and I’ve attended before (and hope to do so again in 2010).
They sent us a special discount code for earlybird MinistryCOM registrations. The next 50 registrations that use the discount code ‘SM0912‘ will get a $45 discount per attendee. That gets the price down to $250 per person. Offer expires 12/31/09.
Rick Warren Book Cover Design Contest
Posted by: | CommentsMy good friend Michael Buckingham wrote an interesting post and open letter to Rick Warren about his latest book design contest for designers. By the responses in comments, I would say that Michael has hit a nerve! I dig his passion and can see a valid point being a designer myself, but I also see the other side of the coin and the opportunity for design recognition.

Will You Twitter Your Church or Ministry?
Posted by: | CommentsTwitter is an awesome tool!
It allows us to communicate in a way that is totally different from traditional websites, blogs, and e-mails. You can tie in Twitter with your FaceBook account, send voice mesages to Twitter using your phone, TwitPic your photos, and even synch it with your Google iCalendar. The applications are many and you should consider using it for your church or ministry.
Anthony Coppedge (whom I’d love to meet and have missed at a few conferences) launched a website called Twitter for Churches (www.twitterforchurches.com) and offers a PDF book called “The Reason Your Church MUST Twitter” for only $5.00! Having read Anthony’s posts in the past, I think this is going to be a great read and recommend checking out his new website.
Twitter could help your ministry to communicate more efficiently or carry on conversations with people in your community. Don’t miss the boat.
