WEARING THE TECH HAT


In addition to my work as Dean of CFTS and Executive to DFM, I sometimes wear the technological hat for our office and Association. Like so many of you, I may have to wear several hats at once and multi-task. Such is present life in the church; we are all growing into various stages of “geekiness” as we live out the gospel in our time.

The NACCC Yearbook is now fully online. You will find it at www.naccc.org by clicking on “Churches” in the left hand menu and then on “Online Yearbook.” Everything that was in the old printed yearbook is viewable online. More features will be added over time. The online version is database driven. Which means it is the most current information available from member churches. Please remember that Senior Ministers and Moderators may edit church database information online to keep it updated. A CD version of the Yearbook will be mailed to every church. Printed copies may be made from the CD, online or ordered from the NA Office for $10.00; additional CD’s are $5.00. Moving to the electronic format is an act of good stewardship; it is much less expensive to produce. We believe that it will also increase communication between congregations as every member now has access.
