Here is entry number three on social
media in churches. Since I have talked about different churches other than
mine, I began to focus more on how my church deals with the social media. My
last blog talked about how I use social media with my youth group. I am an
intern at West Ridge Community Church in Elgin, IL and this is why I have been
writing on social media in churches. I have enjoyed working with the students
in this group and keeping up with them on Facebook. With that being said, Adam,
the groups pastor, and I wanted to communicate to our students that the power
at our cabin was out. ComEd, our power company supplier said that they would
send our electric bills to our cabin mail box but, unfortunately, no one checks
the cabin mail box. We did not know that ComEd decided to change the mailing
address after many years of sending the bill to the church. So Adam and I
decided that we needed to make a funny video about why the power went out. We
knew the mail box for the cabin had to go and the only way to get rid of it was
to take it out of the ground. So Adam recorded me taking the mail box out of
the ground to make sure no one ever sent mail to it again. This is the video I
have connected with my blog and how we told our youth group students about the tragedy
that struck.
