Thanks for the correction and I will not even explain how that happened! Great job on your site. John - got no other comment (?) but now I'll go check my Aksimet in case for what ever reason it got caught up in the filter. I did get your twitter request and I hope I accepted it. I'll go check now. Hi “other” ben. Thanks for the correction and I will not even explain how that happened! Great job on your site.

Thanks for mentioning our efforts to use web and tech. One correction - our church is in Jackson Michigan, not Mississippi. I'd just hate for someone to visit expecting a lovely fall Sunday only to find six inches of snow in October! Thanks again - Ben Hi Cynthia,

I’m one of the pastors at Westwinds Church. Thanks for mentioning our efforts to use web and tech. One correction – our church is in Jackson Michigan, not Mississippi. I’d just hate for someone to visit expecting a lovely fall Sunday only to find six inches of snow in October!

Thanks again –

Ben

Great time to link to <a href="http://ephesuschurch.tv/" rel="nofollow">Ephesus Church</a> / Charlotte, North Carolina.

We've built all these elements into our site. We're a very new church, but have been able to add all of these elements for very low cost. We use Vimeo for very nice streaming video that is free. For our next sermon series, we're working on a intro video that will appear on our home page. Vimeo will even allow HD content for free. We use the iTunes Music Store to support RSS of our podcasts, and wordpress to support a free blog that is linked to our web site. Of course Twitter (http://twitter.com/beneige) goes without saying! Our web site doesn't quite have the 2.0 look and feel yet, but we're doing what we can now to prepare for later. It can be done cheaply and with a little training, most volunteers can handle regular updates Thanks for making us feel special! We’ve built all these elements into our site.
