New Text-Messaging System! @wscoc

We are trying a new text-alert messenger system to help folks stay up-to-ate with late-breaking news.  Occasionally there is a need to get the word out and get it out quickly to as many members as possible, much like the old phone-tree system.  This system, Remind 101, allows members to "subscribe" to the Washington Street text-messaging alerts by simply texting "@wscoc" to (931) 227-4068.  When you do so, you'll be prompted to reply your name.  (It must be the name of a church member in order for it to be accepted.)  Then text alerts can be sent out from the church office at regular intervals or as needed to YOUR phone.

The whole thing is free and your phone number is NOT stored in our system and is not even visible from the church's main site.  This keeps it completely private.  The number above is also not a private phone line, but a randomly selected number used for this purpose only.

Cool, huh?  Sign up today by texting @wscoc to (931) 227-4068 and we'll see how it works for us!
