Washington Street gets a new Web Site!


A New Home on the World Wide Web… www.wscoc.net

Our new web site is going live THIS WEEK and can be found at www.wscoc.net.  Check it out!  On our new site you’ll find all of the old features that have been great resources and tools for years plus several additional features that we hope will make communication much easier for the whole church family.  You’ll continue to find weekly bulletins and sermons posted quickly as well as news and updates on upcoming activities.  Our old “E-News” has become the “Church blog” and will contain articles of upcoming events, happenings, as well as notifications of new bulletin postings.  Members can register with the blog and make comments and/or additions to the posts as well.  You can also subscribe to it, as with the old E-News, and receive notifications any time new postings are made.

Added features include a new Church Calendar which will become the hub for postings of all church activities.  You’ll be able to look at a glance at all the upcoming activities for the Teens, for groups, and for church-wide events.  You’ll not only find information on the events, but you’ll also be able to RSVP (for events requiring it) AND even send out invitations to your friends to the event.  You can also subscribe to the Calendar and receive automatic reminders of events that are coming up.  You’ll be able to send reservation requests as well.  Another new feature is the “Give Online” feature.  For those who wish to, you will have the capability of making contributions or online payments for events (such as youth activities) via a Pay-pal account.  If you don’t have a Pay-pal account, you can sign up for one free of charge.  This is simply another tool some may find useful. 

An e-mail will go out to members in our e-mail database which will include a member name and password with instructions on how to access our members section.  It will be a password-protected location that we may post information we only wish members to have access to, such as our membership database of names, addresses & e-mails. 
 
Check out the new page.  Play around with it and let us know what you think.  The site will continue to grow in the coming weeks. 

 
Washington Street T-Shirts
Orders for T-shirts with a new Washington Street Church of Christ design will be taken beginning this Wednesday night during Bible classes.  We hope to place the first order by Oct. 25th, so get yours in now!  Prices & more information will be available then.  If you have any questions or would like more information, you may contact Christi O’Neal or Tammy Mullins.  I appreciate these ladies for taking the initiative on this.  What a great way for us to express our support for the ongoing work here at Washington Street… by proudly sporting a T-Shirt around town.
