 The way people communicate today is changing rapidly. I have personally seen major changes in my life. Recently I realized that I seldom talk on my cell phone and that it has become “text message central” in my life. As well, I don’t believe I have answered a land line in over a year. The way we connect with others has seriously changed .
Here in the church we have made major changes as well. We are constantly improving the ways we communicate and the way we keep you up-to-date about things that are happening in your community of faith. Our web site has undergone massive change as has Connect - our weekly mid-week e-newsletter. Our Sunday printed bulletins are also undergoing major changes.
In the youth ministry electronics are key. In the leadership team I am working with we are communicating daily by text messages and all reports and follow-ups are done electronically. Effective and instantaneous. Daily we are posting new information and new material on our church’s web site. Recently we started daily blogs being posted connected to the topics being spoken on during Sunday services. This is allowing added material to be presented and interaction between members of the Church as they make comments. We are working hard at keeping you informed and up-to-date on the daily life of your church. Become connected - make sure we have your current email address and mobile phone number.
As one of your leaders and the leader of the new leadership team being formed you can contact me by email at

and by phone/text at (306) 536-9574 (there is an answering system if I am not available). I admit to being 650 emails behind right now but I am working at new office structures to allow me to keep up-to-date. When overseas starting again in September roaming costs are too high to allow texts and phone calls but emails will still work. I work with my emails twice a day when overseas except on travel days when internet connection is not possible.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we move forward with our renewed vision and the technological and leadership changes that we are currently undertaking. And, as I juggle my increased responsibilities here at The Sanctuary with an ever expanding apostolic ministry worldwide. |
