Tomorrow (Sunday, June 29th), St. Peter’s
Anglican Church in Cobourg is trying something new. They are having a social media service at
10:30 am (GMT -5). All in attendance
will be encouraged to share the service online!
Everyone there will be tweeting and Facebooking, posting
to Pinterest and Instagram and getting the information out however they
interact with everyone on the World Wide Web.
What an amazing idea! It will be
interesting to see how it goes. I will
be watching Twitter and Facebook, because that is as much as I can handle!
It is nice to know that even a church that is over 100
years old is keeping current and doing their best to reach as many people as
they can. Times they are a changin’ and
even old fogies like me need to try to keep up.
Just this year, because my Christian children’s books are
only sold online, I have gotten into internet stuff I never dreamed I
would. I am blogging and if you are
reading this, you can see my work here.
I was on Facebook already, to keep up with my kids, but I now have a
‘fan page.’ Imagine that. I am also on
Twitter (@JanetKWarren) and already have almost 1,000 followers. Who knew that could happen. I am even on Pinterest and people send me
pins!
What’s next? Who
knows? What I have discovered is that
although I never spent much time on the internet because I don’t play games, I
can sure spend a lot of time on the social networks! I am particularly fond of retweeting
inspirational tweets I see. Anyone who
follows me will know that. I am hoping
that at least occasionally, I send something that hits home with someone and
make a difference.
So, everyone give @StPetersCobourg a quick tweet and
follow #stpeterscobourg tomorrow to see just who we can reach!
