Great Communication!

Today at Epworth UMC we had a meeting of the minds. Great minds from every corner of Epworth UMC ministry gathered to jam about the future of our church.

We discussed our activities and how important our individual passions were in the pursuit of community ministry. Our spiritual gifts are at the heart of everything we do as people. God made us good at many different things and we must seek to utilize ourselves effectively in order to grow a healthy family and community. Plus, if we are passionate about what we are participating in, we can achieve a greater happiness

We also created many lists of ideas to guide us in our decision-making for activities in the future.
Our number one priority in everything we do seemed to be effective follow-through.
This point is so important, because so often a great idea becomes a hollow activity because there is no heart in the drive of participation.

So my question is what drives you? What do you feel needs to be done?
What event or cause will pull you to your feet and lead you to participate?

New Flickr account for everyone to use!

The new Epworth UMC Elgin Flickr account address is epworthumcelgin@yahoo.com.

To get started go to flickr.com, and enter the address epworthumcelgin@yahoo.com.
You will need the password, which you are more than welcome to have...I am slightly hesitant to post it for the world, however. Just contact the church office and they will provide it!

Now you will be signed in and ready to upload your Epworth Photo Moments for all to see!
These photos can and will be used to capture the best visual representation of Epworth UMC. We can use them in our brochures and marketing materials. We can also enjoy each other's memories, which can bring us all closer together in spirit.

I find the easiest way to upload my photos is with a photo CD. I can pop it in my tray and just upload the photos I want. Of course I don't have a USB cord that connects the camera to the CPU...that would make it much easier.

Good luck to you memory capturers. Our visual future is in your lens!
