Conference Blog Conference Blog 2.0 - this week’s post by Burt Williams- Redeeming the Devil’s Book! Three Ways to Extend Our News Reach Nearly every news story that is posted on the website is also posted on our social media sites- Facebook and Twitter.  Here are three ways you can help us extend our reach:

1. Share these posts on social media with your friends and local church by using the “share” link at the bottom of the post (or Retweet on Twitter)
2. Encourage your friends and church members to “Like” our Facebook page and to “Follow” us on Twitter. This will give them access to our news feed, and they in turn can share information with others very easily.
3. Anytime you go to the full news article, calendar event, or career listing on our website, there are share buttons at the bottom to easily share with others—not only through Facebook, Twitter or Email, but dozens of possibilities.
