Back after many transitions!

Finally back into the swing of things after a summer of transitions. In late May I started a new career as a real estate agent here in Spokane, and just a few weeks later my mother died very unexpectedly. I did the funeral in NYC and the committal in Vermont. In early July we moved into a new house. It was, as my siblings say, a "lost summer" -- and eMinistry simply had to be put on hold.

Now we're getting started again with a few classes this fall, beginning in October, and looking ahead to a large number of classes in 2008. We've submitted a grant application for 2008 which would allow us to offer a comprehensive series of teleclasses in the areas of Outreach and Christian Education -- and also to teach a series of classes on how to create your own teleclass program. We'll know more about the grant later this fall, but regardless of its success, we plan to offer a large number of classes in the new year.

If you have topics to suggest in the areas of Outreach ministry and Christian Education -- remembering eMinistry's goal of offering practical, user-friendly classes on tools for ministry -- please post them here or email me at elizabeth@eministrynetwork.org

I'm looking forward to working with our leaders and participants this fall!
