Presbyteries Are Connecting Online in New Ways

connectOur presbyteries are using more than their websites to network online. Stop by the updated Presbyteries Page to see who is on Facebook, who is using Twitter, and who is blogging. In addition, a new mapping system showing all of the churches in each presbytery (with contact and driving instructions for each) is now available. Check out the maps for the two presbyteries that have been "mapped" already and learn how plans are underway to include all of the Synod's presbyteries.

Also, did you know that iPhone users already have access to a full list of all of the Synod's churches, with the ability to phone, e-mail, or get driving directions using this free iPhone WebApp?
