BLOGGING FOR JESUS
Blogging is one of the hottest trends in the Internet phenomenon known as Web 2.0 or "social media." It is a way to keep a journal online, where it can be made available to just a small group of friends or opened up more publicly, as the blogger chooses. Options to allow readers to comment on blog articles can lead to conversation and discussion that people might not be comfortable having in person. The purpose of this new small group is to discover together how blogging can provide rewarding new ways to express our faith and invite others to share their reflections. If you are interested in being part of this journey or just want to know more, contact Mary Yost at marymyost@gmail.com.
