The Common
One of the biggest issues that churches face is how do you meet the needs of those around you. Both in your faith community and outside your faith community. Who would have the right skill set to match that specific need? How would ever know all the needs that exist with out relationships? The Common is helping people match their gifts with needs of those around them.
My church started using TheCommon in August and it has revolutionized the needs that exist with the skills to help.
If you tell your Sr. Pastor that it was your idea, we won’t say anything.

Did You Know?
One of the top questions you hear when you get together with friends, family etc… is “Did you know?” You’re never sure if what you are about to hear is gossip or fact.
But when it comes to new technology and social networking the question takes on a new meaning. I grew up with the electronic babysitter at my home. From the moment I came home from school until I went to bed the TV was on. But the youth we are ministering to these days refer to “Screen Time” and TV is only a small part of that equation.
Watch this video and tell us how much, “Did you know?”

What Do YOU Think About Using Social Media for Social Good? [Survey]
Adam Hirsh from Mashable is currently running a social media charitable campaign, The Summer of Social Good, equally benefiting LiveSTRONG, The Humane Society, WWF, and Oxfam America. We’ve raised $25,000+ ahead of the campaign’s official conference next week.

The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri
Dante Alighieri’s poetic masterpiece is a moving human drama, an unforgettable visionary journey through the infinite torment of Hell, up the arduous slopes of Purgatory, and on to the glorious realm of Paradise-the sphere of universal harmony and eternal salvation.
One of the greatest works in literature, Dantes story-poem is an allegory that represents mankind as it exposes itself, by its merits or demerits, to the rewards or the punishments of justice. A single listening will reveal Dantes visual imagination and uncanny power to make the spiritual visible. Translated by John Ciardi.
