SOCIAL MEDIA: have you wondered what all the fuss is about? Do you hear people talking about Facebook, Twitter and other but are not sure how they work and why they are so popular? St. Thomas has started using social media for various reasons and wants to give you the chance to see how we and using it and why. On April 21st we are going to have a brief seminar for interested people to see how it all works together. They will take place at the coffee hours after the 9am and the 11am. Stop by our table so we can demonstrate it for you!

Your pastor loves conflict! Okay, that is not quite true. But I do think that having Crucial Conversations is essential to the health and well being of any group and especially the church. Most would agree with this, but shy away from having these conversations or are not sure how to navigate the difficult waters. On May 11 from 10am to noon, I am offering a seminar on how to have these Crucial Conversations: how to approach them, how not to be fearful of them, what works to turn a dispute into a productive conversation, and more. There will be both information and role playing. Please consider coming; the more who come the better the church as a whole is prepared for rough waters when they come. There will be another one in the fall. Please notify the office if you plan to come.
