As we begin our mission to form a new Christian body we must keep in mind the great financial strain some of our congregations could feel. There are some ways to take advantage of free services to ease financial obligations.
Consider moving your parish website to a free service like Blogspot, Blogs.com, or Yahoo Blog. Use free email providers like Yahoo, Gmail, AIM, and MSN. Use your 501C3 registration to inquire about discounted utilities and waving of sales taxes. Get ideas from your congregations and fellow pastors. We at the national office got the idea to use Blogspot from a few of our pastors.
Keep in mind there is no shame in taking advantage of free services, in fact it shows stewardship for the trust our congregations have in our financial trust. There is a fiduciary trust that we must continually remember.
