Using the Church Social App
Dear congregation,
The session has decided to use Church Social as a tool for managing our church calendar, directory, announcements, and documents.
You can [download the Church Social app on your phone, which will provide a handy church calendar, directory, and messages. More features are available by logging in at the website churchsocial.com, including photo galleries, Bible study groups, and serving schedules.
We hope that by being better connected and better organized, we can have better fellowship and more effective ministry.
Email Announcements
Starting this week, we will use Church Social to send out weekly church announcements. If you don’t get the announcements this week, please let Pastor Goligher know. This email newsletter goes out to many friends and former members of our congregation, and we want to stay in touch with you all. For that purpose, we will keep using this list to send out periodic notes and announcements about our ministry.
Privacy
One of our reasons for adopting Church Social is that it will help us preserve the privacy of our members' information. The church has already been using various online tools for organizing information and communications. By combining this into Church Social, we will have a safer, more reliable way to do this. By default, other members will only be able to see information that is typically found in a church directory. Also, you can adjust your own privacy settings so that others can only see information you want to share.
How to get started
We will be inviting members to join over the next few days. If you have not received an invitation by August 31, please email Pastor Calvin at pastor@firstopc.org.
