Pondering whether or not to install some better discussion board software on the church webpage. The current one is such a sad state of affairs. I’ve had problems in the past with bots coming along and posting undesireable links on it, I’ve thought about trashing the whole thing. Highland Heights and Tusculum seem to have very active discussion boards. Ours only has discussion when someone from the outside world asks some off the wall question like “Do I have to attend both church services, the late and early ones?” When I asked the HH minister how he keeps things going, he said he sends out emails and gets others at church to help spur discussion on it. I want to stay away from sending unwanted emails to members.
I’m tired. Tired of receiving automated calls from the congregation wide phone tree advertising the youth Bible study…something that only effects 30 or so people, yet we bother all 500+ members with this phone tree annoyance. There’s a way to put this type of stuff into groups and only alert the people who the activity will effect. That’s Joey’s revenge I guess. Our old minister Joey Davis was the only one who knew how the phone tree worked. Since he’s left no one actually knows how it works. We sit around like Unfrozen Caveman Lawyers trying to figure out the thing, never sure of how it works.
