A New Way to Record Attendance
On-line, Really Cool!
Given that we are hosting our services online (via Facebook Live and our own ar-chived sermons webpage), we are missing out on being able to see how all is worshipping with us. Starting this week-end, we’re asking all host families and in-dividuals watching online to fill out our digital connection card. Go to our web-site:
www.welcomehomechristian.com/digital-connection-card/ to fill out your infor-mation. There’s also an area where you can request prayers at the bottom of the form. Submitting your attendance will help us identify who we’re able to reach via our online presence. Thanks so much!
