Does your church have a good process for following up with visitors? For my youth group at Statesboro First United Methodist Church I hand write each student and thank them for visiting. I recently saw this video and has me thinking about pushing myself further.

This video is of Adam Hamilton, Sr. Pastor of The United Methodist Church of the Resurrection. Now he is dealing with adults instead of youth which is a big difference than students, but it got me thinking, how can we push that human connection more to communicate we care and value our visitors.

Our most recent series @ the movies was a ton of fun. We had move posters on stage, a pop corn machine, and of course some amazing videos. Check it out:

am i listening?

I love my major. Learning in Communication Arts allows us to learn to think critically and then spit out our ideas of whatever the topic or situation is. It allows us to communicate to the world what we think. And so it helps us in this world we live in where we are suppose to constantly put “what we think” out there. The most popular websites are sites like twitter (you can read mine at the bottom of this page), facebook, and blogs. My question is do we ever really stop to listen? Or are we getting just enough info to fill 140 characters?

There is so much noise around. Ask yourself, am I really hearing anything through all of it? And am I only adding to it?
