Need a FREE Assistant? Try Time Bridge.

Bill Reichart, one of the pastors at Big Creek Church, shared a great resource with me called Time Bridge and I think it’s a tool definitely worth checking out.  If you want to see how Bill uses it, please visit his post called How to become a Scheduling Wizard .  Bill also writes on two blogs Ministry Best Practices and Provocative Church and will be one of the Guest Writers for Church Communications Pro!

Thanks for the info Bill!

Affordable Brochure or Website Copyrighting Services for Your Church

One of my seminary friends Ariel Vanderhorst is offering some excellent copywriting services for churches at excellent rates. (I don’t get any money from this … just the joy of helping a friend help churches.)

Check out his ballpark rates here.

He’s written for some great publications and is an awesome guy. Dependable, solid, trustworthy. In fact, I’m using Ariel right now to do some feature articles for our church newsletter.

If you’ve got some content you need written … from brochures, to websites and probably everything in between … Ariel’s your guy!

[Please note: No animals were harmed in the making of this testimonial … and no arms were twisted, rather mine was willingly offered without request to do this because I believe in Ariel’s work … I mean ministry.]
