Flower Guild Workshop & Luncheon

Facebook, Twitter, & Blogs, Oh My! Podcast

Today, the Rev. Alicia Shuster-Weltner, Canon for Congregational Development, and I taught a workshop on using social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and blogs at the 2010 Ministry Fair of the Diocese of Atlanta at the Cathedral of St. Philip. To my delight, the workshop was well-attended. But there were many who couldn’t come, so I promised I would record the session and put it on our website. Many thanks to all who attended and contributed!

You can listen to the workshop in it’s entirety (almost an hour and a half) to the right of this page in the Podomatic window.

This podcast also marks my first exploration into souping up the recording with an introduction and conclusion. It took me a little while to figure everything out with a program on my Mac called Garageband, but once I got it, it should be much easier. It takes a little more work to do this kind of thing, but I think it adds a nice touch. Hope you like it.

Many Thanks to Our Altar Guild!

This past Saturday, our fantastic Altar Guild met to train, refresh, and fellowship with one another. Thanks to the leadership of Altar Guild chair Liz Dixon and Vestry liaison for Worship, Sharon Cheatham, the crowd looks like they had a good time with one another.

The Altar Guild are “behind the scenes” people who set up the bread, wine, altar hangings, and so on. They learn a lot about liturgy and handle the very important and delicate elements of our worship. They are responsible for enhancing our worship in ways that most people don’t recognize. They handle the “holy things” and without them, our worship would be sorely hindered.

Many thanks to our whole Altar Guild for their incredible service to St. Nicholas! If you are interested in being a part of this wonderful group, contact Liz Dixon at Jcemdixon@aol.com.
