Upcoming Sunday School speakers

February 7, 2009

Dick Gilroy mentioned our upcoming Sunday School class in one of the comments on a previous thread, and I wanted to make sure everyone could see the upcoming speakers for the Tab: A Beacon of Hope in the Heart of the City class:

Sunday, Feb 8 – No Class. (Congregational Meeting at 10:00am)

Sun., Feb 15 – Unleavened Bread Cafe

Sun., Feb 22 – Oscar Clavel

Sun., March 1 – Kit Danley, Neighborhood Ministries

(Also, don’t forget this year’s Tab @ Home retreat, Feburary 27th – March 1st)


Contributing to the blog: the details

February 7, 2009

I’d like to outline what it means to be a “contributor” to the blog.  Essentially, “contributing” is simply sharing the responsibility of putting new things on the blog.

It is a commitment to make sure something is posted on the blog – whatever updates people on the different ministries connected to Tab. For some people, that could mean they something themselves. More often, however, I expect that contributors instead ask other people involved in various ministries to update others on how their ministry is doing.

So what kind of commitment am I describing? The details:

  • Responsible for 1 post each month
  • Ask someone to give an update on their ministry, or write something yourself!

You can ask people to write about:

  • Ministry updates – how are things going?
  • Ministry needs – how can the members at Tab help?
  • Prayer needs – how can Tab be praying for you?
  • Personal reflections – what have you learned from serving?

This is not a complete list – this blog be an opportunity to be creative!
You do not need to be tech-savvy to contribute. I am happy to assist people with all of the necessary technology to putting up new blog posts. If you can write something, I will make sure it makes it onto the internet. However, if you would like to learn how the technology works, I’m happy to teach you as well.

So, until we have enough contributors, this blog will not be fully “live” – there will be periodic posts, but nothing substantial. I’d like to have at least 4 people committed before things really get going. Please think about how you could help!

Those were my first thoughts about what a contributor might do.  If people have other ideas, I’d love to hear them.  Feel free to express yourself by posting a comment below – click where it says “No Comments” to be led to a box where you can input your thoughts!
