TTUMC leaders are blogging, and their recent posts show different ways that blogs can be used to lead, teach, and inspire. If you have a TTUMC-related blog, imagine how you could blog to accomplish similar things.
- Give a progress report. DJ Price at Church Library tells us the hours he hopes to keep the TTUMC library open. How could you give a progress report on the ministry you participate in?
- Praise volunteers. In the same post, DJ acknowledges the work of a volunteer. Whom could you praise on your blog?
- Call for volunteers. In the same post, DJ offers more volunteer opportunities at the library. What volunteer opportunities could you use your blog to offer?
- Give a how-to. Jackie Diamond at TTUMC Prayer Warrior describes how to engage in soaking prayer. What could you “how-to” on your blog? Consider these examples:
- How to lead a small group activity
- How to read the book of Leviticus
- How to visit a sick person in the hospital
- How to greet someone who seems shy
- How to invite a friend to church
- How to feed the homeless
- Get personal. Shields and Martha Clark at Partners on a Journey convey their experience about the importance of solitude. In doing so, they give us details about their thoughts and lives that draw us in to a deeper understanding of how two particular followers of Jesus are maintaining their relationship with God. How could you get personal on your blog in ways that make people understand what it’s like to follow Jesus?
