We have an end to the St Mark's office communication blues!

The Men for the Master have purchased a little user friendly Nokia cell phone, along with an MTN starter pack, for the church office. This will allow incoming calls 24/7 when the ADSL land line is not working, which is often.

The St Mark's office is back in touch with the world ... once Marianne drops off the phone!

Outgoing calls are of course also possible, which means that our key function of serving our community can now continue even without the use of a traditional telephone. SMSing  is of course also an option in place of traditional e-mail as a stop gap measure.

The beauty of the arrangement is that costs can be limited to the amount of air time bought. We can work out the nitty gritty detail on that issue at a later date. Liz, Solomon, Sophia and Hillary can sort out where we keep the phone and how we use it.

The Lord has blessed us.  We now have ADSL (just waiting for the line to be fixed), internet and e-mail, which sadly is line dependent,, bulk SMS'ing options and of course a web site. This is not bad for an inner city congregation situated in Yeoville. This technology working for God..

Oh yes our new office cellphone number is: 078 668 6574 and the phone is on charge as we speak.
