Another tool for your ministry
Just as everyone at Spirit of Hope is a minister, so everyone is now a webmaster! This web site, spiritofhopeumc.org, is another way of communicating with each other and those seeking information about us. It will be as authoritative and up-to-date as we (you!) make it.
The primary advantage of having a web site is its ability to change... perhaps daily or even hourly. If you have unique resources, a position of leadership in the church, or some special knowledge of interest to Spirit of Hope members and potential members, you should be contributing to our site! Just email it.
Also send constructive criticism, errors or omissions you’ve discovered, or info about problems viewing the site.
Please note: The website has no deadline, no closing date. Email your information and it will be on the site in as little as two hours.
The Voice is here.
This is the ideal place to make changes or additions after the newsletter has gone to press. Email your changes or additions to your webservant.
Other communications:
If you’re sending a mailing, placing an ad about the church, making calls as part of a phone tree, making flyers for just about anything, put them here, too! Last minute cancellations, time or place changes, can be posted here on the World Wide Web. Nearly anybody, anywhere, can see it! Just email the facts to your webservant.
Guidelines:
Use the famous newspaper guidelines— Who, What, When, Where and Why... and sometimes How— when composing your info.
Email plain text only. For lengthy text, copy and paste from your word processor’s window into your email window.
If you have photos or graphics to accompany the text, send them as attachments to your email (jpg only, not wmf, bmp, tif, etc.) or include how to contact you (phone) or where the clearly labeled photos can be found (at the church office, etc.). Don’t write on the photos, not even on the back. Sticky notes work pretty well. All paper materials can be returned.
Our site is expandable.
The site has no limits (to speak of). No story is too long. We have no paper, no ink, no press time to pay for. Full color is here at no extra charge. (Haven’t you always wished for color?)
Do you have news or other information that should be here? Send it to your webservant for inclusion on this website. Think: Who, What, When Where, and Why!
