Is Your Computer a Tool of God's Ministry to You?

Emails. Do you receive emails that inspire you? That touch your need? That call you back to the basics of faith, family, and nation? Isn’t it amazing how timely some of them are? Please forward your favorites to Amanda Wetterling at the church office, trinityparish@iowatelecom.net. For her to post on the “Inspirations from United Trinity Parish” page as encouragement to others.

Are there inspirational sites you bookmark as favorites and visit often? Send them to Amanda so she can share them with the whole church family.

The parish webpage. For the past month Pastor Dale has been using the new Humeston Parish E-News (http://trinityparish.blogspot.com) to report on the day-to-day activities of our two churches. Check out the link to it on the blog. And oh my gosh! Have you seen the new link to Pauline (Gibbs) Williams “Humeston My Hometown” web page. History of both churches can be found there. You will absolutely love it. If you do visit the site, scroll to the bottom and check out the Firefighters site as well. You can email updates directly to her.

Blog. Every day or so Pastor Dale is adding to the church Blog, http://trinityparish.blogspot.com which we are now calling Humeston Parish Churches Online. We are calling it that so that the Google and Yahoo search engines will list our site on their first page when people search for churches in Humeston.

We’ve added a new page – the Humeston Parish E-News. We are trying hard to let you know what we have done as soon as we have done it – faster than a speeding New Era. Also we are trying to identify more clearly in the email notices we send you what the news items are about so you can quickly decide whether to you want to read them or not.

Twitter. Pastor Dale is now using twitter.com to highlight upcoming events and activities at the church. You can “following” him or the church. Sign up for your own free twitter account at www.twitter.com and then choose to follow either HumestonParish or DaleOConnell. If you follow HumestonParish you will get all parish announcements, but only those announcements. If you follow DaleOConnell you will get his announcements, parish announcements, and twitter posts from other members and friends. Either way, it’s easy to learn and really kind of fun.

Facebook. And for those of you enjoying your Facebook page, invite Dale O’Connell as a friend. You can also read his own personal blog at http://theblueheron.blogspot.com.
