I am looking for volunteers who will help Union Christian Church in being better in the efforts to present our church family within our family and out into the community; and beyond. I need some who are willing to suggest content to be added to our Facebook page(s) or even proof read what is already there. I need some who might have some insights into what would best serve our congregation through the use of Facebook and our new website: https://www.unionchristiandoc.org.
I also need some volunteers who have an understanding of how changes need to be made to our social media sites and website; or are willing to learn.
This team will also look into what we should consider in order to be more presentable in the online streaming of our worship service; including the sound and video quality.
If you have any interest, or just a curiosity, about any of what I’ve just shared, please contact Pastor Mark.

In conjunction with the retreat, we have also postponed the upcoming pitch-in dinner that was to be held following the worship service on Sunday, August 29. That dinner will be rescheduled when we have new plans for the retreat.
