Technology Workshops
Would you like to see a live preview of the new wvumc.org? Do you want to use technology in your local church?
Clergy are invited to join the Conference Communications Team this Thursday, January 14, at Johnson Memorial UMC in Huntington. The workshop is part of a western district clergy meeting and begins at 10:00 am. Clergy from other districts are welcome! Wireless Internet is available, so bring a laptop if you can, and follow along.
One goal of the workshop will be to provide clergy with tools and resources they can begin using immediately.
There will also be a tech workshop for laypeople on Saturday, February 27, again at Johnson Memorial UMC. Details will be in future e-news publications.
