Church Communication Update
It has become apparent that we have too many ways to communicate church news. We’re finding that when information goes out, it is easy for some platforms to be forgotten or ignored. That is causing people to miss announcements about events and/or changes in the church schedule.
With that in mind, we are making some changes and we will have a survey at worship for the month of September to make sure everyone is connected. If you don't make it in for worship, email Pastor Kelsey or Mitzi to receive the survey digitally.
You can read about the changes below. If you have any questions or confusions, please contact Pastor Kelsey.
Facebook group chat update
We will no longer use the “Women of the UMC” chat for any official church business. It will still exist, but the church office will not be using it. We will be relying on Flocknote for church announcements and the new options below for the rest.
Covenant Chats
For those that are looking for ways to be more closely connected to our church family, Pastor Kelsey is facilitating creating small facebook group chats (3-5 people) that will function like an online “small group.” These covenant groups will be a space to better build community and deepen relationships, as all are able to fully share prayer requests and support one another in whatever is going on in life.
New email groups for UMW and Ad Board!
We are creating email groups for UMW and Ad Board communications. These email groups will be a space for church leaders to easily share information and a space for whole group discussion and voting on ministry opportunities.
Continuing Communications
Flocknote: We are still relying on Flocknote for our normal communication (weekly E-news, text blasts, etc). If you are not part of Flocknote, please join. text HopkinsUMC to 84576 or
flocknote.com/HopkinsUMC
Phone tree: We are restarting our phone tree. If you know of someone who cannot rely on email, ask them if they would like to be on the phone tree.
