Greetings,

The dec web team is rolling out yet another site improvement – blogs for each of our five staff ministers.  Each pastor now has a dedicated chunk of virtual real estate to share with the congregation.  You can read what the pastors are up to, and respond with your own questions and comments.  You can even subscribe to the pastors’ blogs via email or RSS feed – so you can easily keep up to date with the discussion.

If you’re as psyched as we are, check out the blogs at the links below:

• Terry Sharbaugh’s blog
• John Wiswell’s blog
• Tom Froning’s blog
• Sue Spinney’s blog
• Chris Clough’s blog

And as a special bonus, you can now subscribe to the dec news page via RSS feed or email as well – to keep up with dec news, site changes, and more.

Thanks!

Your friendly neighborhood web team has uploaded the first of a series of planned updates to the site.  While our generic “Contact Form” is still around and useful for contacting the church at large, we’ve implemented a series of new forms for contacting ministries and pastors.  You can contact staff from our staff directory page, or contact ministries from their respective ministry pages (such as the fabulous new Marriage & Family Life page.)

Thanks, and God Bless,

- the dec web team
