We can print the weekly Marksman Online highlights and stick them on the notice board, right though that gate, negating the need for a costly quarterly production.
Dear friends,
I don't think most of our readers are aware of the interactive features that our Blog site offers. This is cutting edge stuff that will be a key driver in spreading Christ's teachings as Africa get's "hooked up" to the Internet.
1. The main body of the site contains articles about church activities and plans.
2. It also now offers a daily devotional courtesy of Rev. David Hutt.
3. You can comment on any articles using the "comment" button at the end of each article.
4. We are linked to Twitter and Facebook, which means that Christian social networking sites, such as those favoured by members of First Presbytery and Faith Presbytery in Huntsville, Alabama, can share in our world.
5. Former members of St Mark's can share in our challenges and successes and assist and advise via the comments button.
6. The right hand column is information-centric. There you have times of service, who is on duty and when, who are our office bearers on our various committees, pictures and slide shows of the "hot" happenings at St Mark's. A map of how to get to our church, that expands if you click on it, and a Bible research tool to help you delve deeper into the study of His word.
7. We have the church contact details and how you can get in touch with the editorial team.
8. And FINALLY we have the means to enable you to print and distribute each article of interest. That's the green button at the bottom of each feature. Just click on it and away you go.
9. The Editorial team will print a weekly selection of the best contributions and pin them on the church notice board for the benefit of those, who do not have an Internet connection.
10. This will replace the Quarterly Marksman, in time, as it is far more immediate. The office can also then print a particular article, at the request of a member of the congregation.
NOTE: You can comment on whether printed articles from the Marksman Online, pinned on the notice board, would be of more value than a quarterly document, where the information is badly dated. We would love your views. Use the comment button below. And if you are asked for a profile, take the "anonymous" option. Play with this feature and see how you go.
Blessings,
The St Mark's Editorial team.
I think that would be a great idea.
ReplyDeleteCan we ask for previous articles to be printed.
ReplyDeleteI have encountered a problem. The article prints, but includes the caption. Is there any way I can get rid of this?
ReplyDeleteDear friend. The bug is noted. Sadly there is nothing we can do about it. But in future the captions will be written with this issue in mind. Blessings for alerting us.
