TnbKids Joins Facebook

Like many people my age, I'm regular Facebook user. I have Facebook friends from my Jr. High days all the way to folks I see daily. Facebook has become the way people stay connected, whether they live across town or across the globe.

Some time back I attempted to create a seperate social network for the children's ministry, but after much thought and conversations, it just seemed silly to try to create yet another place for people to go/join. Instead, creating something that was a part of what people were already using (Facebook) seemed much more logical and productive. And so, we now have a Facebook page for the Tenth & Broad Children's Ministry.

If you aren't much of a Facebook user you might be asking yourself, "Self, why does he need a Facebook for the children's ministry?" The answer is communication and not just one way, force-feeding information communication, but the back and forth exchange of information through discussions, comments, wall posts and more.

My goal is for our page to be another point of contact with those involved in the ministry and for those interested in or being introduced to our children's ministry. Our tnbkids.org website will soon get a make over as it becomes the hub of our online presence while utilizing great tools like Facebook, Twitter and the like. If you are on Facebook stop by and become a fan. You can find us here.

If you see yourself as "net-savy" then I just might be looking for you to help out and blogging, updating, writing, or monitoring our online presence.

How do you use Facebook, if you do, and if you don't, why don't you?
