Top Ten Reasons for Having a Congregation Website:
10.

You won't have to lick a stamp to get the word out.
9.

There's nothing to bend, fold, staple or mutilate.
8.

You won't have to curse, coax, cajole, kick or bribe the copy machine or the copy machine repairman.
7.

You won't have to wait til January 1st to announce news that happened on December 2nd.
6.

When budding photographers become famous, they can say they got their start getting shots for your site.
5.

It's a techno-geeky-"click til you drop" world out there.
4.

The new Bishop will pay you to post his/her flattering photo (or to remove an unflattering one!)
3.

Jesus is thinking about starting a daily blog.
2.

You can finally get the pastor to be on duty 24/7 to greet inquirers.
1.

If you build it, they will come!
