370 Visitors!

We had about 370 visitors to our website last month. Actually, we had 370 visits, not really 370 visitors. I’m assuming some people have visited many times, and others only once.

Thanks to Stephanie and Wes, our website is an amazing tool for reaching people around the world. That’s 370 visits, not including those of us who post on the website! (The website ignores us when it recognizes our computers.) We posted a story about a visitor who told us about the inspiration he felt from his sergeant in Somalia. I wrote about his description of the sergeant, I heard from a sergeant in Kabul, Afghanistan. I’m not sure how he found our website, but he said his wanted to be that kind of sergeant. In the past year, we have also heard from an author we mentioned.

So google us! Go to google, and type in hickory bend umc. You’ll find a world of information and inspiration. If you want to post articles, it’s very easy. See Stephanie, Wes, or one of the Youth. You can click on years of the newsletters, listen to a sermon you missed or one you want to review. You can click on the calendar and see pictures of events at the church. You are probably mentioned or pictured on the website, so check yourself out!

The largest and boldest words are: audio, fellowship, Donelson, Jesus Christ, Methodist, Outreach, Worship, Recording, Service, Youth, and Welcome. Interesting, isn’t it? If those words describe us, it’s no wonder we have so many visitors.

We can give through the air!

When we had a giving campaign years ago, I remember Shari and Jim describing how they created their budget, and the first thing they paid was their tithe to the church. That made an impression on me, and I began making the same habit. Now that I do most of my banking online, it’s even easier! I can give my minimum amount to the general budget regularly each month automatically. It is the easist and most rewarding way to give. When I can give more, I can write a check, but I always know that the base giving is taken care of before I worry about bills and other obligations. I never worry about being on vacation or missing what I pledge for any reason. The credit union does it for me! I highly recommend electronic giving! It flies through the air!
