You will still need to pay the monthly hosting fee, but we’ve even reduced that for this limited-time offer! You can choose either option: iPhone and iPad only or iPhone, iPad, and Android. You get a better value if you choose all three platforms, and for this limited time, we’ve also slashed the price if you go ahead and pay for a full year of hosting up front! Seriously, if your church is considering an app, you will not find a better deal than this.

Pricing is as follows:

Got a New Mobile, What’s Next?

Tuesday, November 30th, 2010

Motorola Citrus Unboxing Pics - Share on Ovi With the holiday season here and in full swing, there have been many deals out there for mobile devices of all kinds. I’ve seen everything from high-end smart phones being sold for almost nothing (with a contract) to netbooks and iPads going for almost $100 USD less than their normal prices.

In that respect, I’m sure that there are many people who are now owners of new or updated devices. Which then brings with life the next question – what do you do with that new mobile after you’ve now made this purchase?

There’s always the practice of setting some time aside to learn about the device some. Some people are even stalwarts and read the entire manual throughly with the device in hand.

There are those folks whom already know their device and get to the point of download applications and setting up their device(s) to access various services. Just be sure to get your Bible on there as well.

There are a few people that I know of personally whom are going the route of skipping all of the learning, adding applications, etc. and going straight to communicating. They have been firing off SMS/emails since they received their device – and will only learn things like “how to take a call” when they come to those situations.

Its really interesting, and in some respects speaks to our reasons behind purchasing a mobile device. Many times it is just about efficiency in communication, and we just want to get there. Other times it is about “that new shiny toy.” But for whatever reason, there’s a goal you have in mind when you purchased (or will purchase) a new device this season. What might be the next steps for you? Or, what are you most looking forward to with that new device if you’ve not yet purchased it?

Celebrating Laborers

Monday, September 6th, 2010

Today, the US celebrates the holiday of Labor Day. It is on this day that we celebrate those whose labors made this country during its more industrial times.

Thinking about this holiday this weekend got me to thinking about how we ceelbrate those folks in the Body who have labored in pioneering areas as well. Those folks whose sheer faith towatds something that many others didn’t see immediately was rewarded a long ways off, sometimes after their death.

I’d like to just put out there that there’s much work to be done all the time. But, we would do our Body a disservice if we didn’t take the time to reflect on the impact of that work on the lives of others. Some people might never get fame by name, only by the output of what they’ve put their hands and hearts towards. So, let’s remember to celebrate them. And find ways ourselves to allow work to be more than just what we do, but how we improve the faith and lives of those people around us.
