INFUSED ONLINE

Hey everyone! In case you haven’t heard we have a new Text Messaging service to keep students, volunteers and parents up to date with events and things they need to know.  Please sign up by clicking HERE and filling out the very small form.  It will only take 5 minutes.  (I promise, unless you don’t know your phone number, or name, or carrier)

4 Great Reasons Why You Need This:

1. We promise not to overwhelm you with messages. Just 1-2 a week. It saves you time.
2. It saves trees!  With thousands of dollars of marketing going in the trash can, important information you need to know gets to the source and not to the trash can.
3. In case of emergency it is a dependable line of communication. i.e. during Hurricane Ike while the power was out, the Student Ministry was the only ministry who stayed connected minute by minute.
4. In case of crisis, this is the best way to communicate to a large group of people in real time.

That’s right you guys. Thx to Tom Francis, who sent me this interesting email, we can know something that gives us all one more reason to make sure our students are at church on any given Sunday or Wednesday night. According to this research done at University of Iowa students who regularly attend religious services/functions have a higher GPA average and have much less tendency to drop out of high school.
