Church eGroup Synergy

With auto post and comment notification email configured this evening, the men's e-group moderator has all the tools he needs to get him from "here to there."

Later this week, I will set up the same auto notification process with the ladies' e-group leader.

The final practical exercise for the two leaders is learning about inter-blog connectivity.  The two leaders will collaborate on the designing of an e-group survey questionnaire using mostly free Google on-line services.

This joint project has five parts.  First, the two leaders will learn to share an on-line calender created specifically for the survey project.   Second, they are to learn to use chat for impromptu dialog or planned live-discussions to flesh out the goal of the 10-question survey.    Then they will collaborate to write one questionnaire on-line.   When the survey questionnaire is completed, each leader will create a separate but identically survey for the two e-groups by using a non-Google survey service.  Finally, each of the moderator will place the survey link on the respective blog for the members to complete.

The fruits of blogging and inter-group synergy will usher in new vistas for conducting the business of heaven on earth.  What's learned will be passed on and improved upon by the next class.

And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others.
