Greetings!
Is this week really the last for July? Some of our schools will be starting very soon if not already. I guess that means summer is just about done. And I guess that means Vacation Bible School and Summer Reading Clubs are wrapping up.
VBS and Online Reading Clubs
How did the library ministry connect with VBS during this pandemic? How about online reading clubs? Please share your experiences here.
How Are Our Libraries Responding to the Pandemic?
On March 12, Glenn McEowen started one of our most popular conversations on the Q&A. Now that more and more of our churches are reopening, let’s update what is happening with our churches. Click here to open the conversation. Click on the title then scroll down and continue reading by clicking on page 2 then page 3 to see all of this conversation. Add your comment to share what your library team is doing as your church reopens. Thank you, Glenn and all of you who participated so far in this conversation!
Newsletters
We had a great conversation about library newsletters last week. Not too late to join that conversation. Click here. Thank you, Bev Colquett!
Update: Growing in Faith 2020 Reading Challenge
Be sure to check out Debbie Dehart's update on her team's Growing in Faith 2020 Reading Challenge. This approach is giving our team an expansion to something we are working on right now for the Fall called Digging Deeper 1 on 1. Thanks, Debbie!
Email Preferences on the CLN
Have you discovered that you have lots of choices on how to receive emails from the CLN? To set up your email preferences click on My Page tab then click on Options in the upper right corner then click on Email on the top of the lefts side of the screen above "Basics." All kinds of choices. You can even stop receiving emails if you wish. These are one of the benefits of our new CLN set up.
New Videos Coming Soon!
We are working this week on topics for our soon to be taped videos. Can't wait to get these started!! At this point we are leaning toward Skype as our platform for these recordings. Several years ago, I met Jane Creswell through a Christian educator’s conference. She led the team at IBM that designed Skype. Shortly thereafter she answered God's lifelong call to be a missionary to the business world. That led her to coaching. Her book Christ Centered Coaching: 7 Benefits for Ministry Leaders, influenced a major shift in ministry leadership development. Skype is now available through Microsoft. Announcements coming soon!
Let’s bring in August with joy!!
