			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;color: black;font-family: &quot;Georgia&quot;,&quot;serif&amp;quot">Well, I suppose there&#8217;s a first time for everything, and for me &#8230; it&#8217;s blogging. Social networking is a new communications tool for us here at the church. We have our Facebook account, we&#8217;re adding Twitter accounts weekly, and now Wordpress blogging.  As I encourage our leaders to begin using our social networking tools, I quickly realized I need to help lead the way.  As a Communications Director, I&#8217;m not sure I have much to say that would be of added value to someone, but you have to start somewhere.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;color: black;font-family: &quot;Georgia&quot;,&quot;serif&amp;quot">I frequently receive phone calls and emails from people at other churches asking what we&#8217;re doing in communications at FPCB. The theme of my blogs will be centered on supporting other, smaller churches who may be struggling in communications. I certainly understand that I don&#8217;t have all the answers, or even pretend to. But after over 12 years in communications and marketing (much of it spent working in churches), I&#8217;ve learned a few things along the way&#8230; mostly from my mistakes. My hope is that this blog will be a source of encouragement, information, and inspiration to others in church communications. Your feedback, whether we agree or not, is always welcome.</span></p>
