From the ChurchCIO.com series Blogging Guidelines for Pastors:
Write Like You Would in an Email to a Friend
Blogging is conversational and first-person. Like emailing a friend, the approach is intentional and thoughtful, but not constrained by format, language, or protocol. Express yourself properly.

After 5 months of complete silence on this blog, I thought I would tip everyone off to a cool event going down today in LA and online called #churchtechcamp. Tony Steward and some other web-focused Church Technology folks are behind it, but others of you will find it interesting as well. You can stream it live TODAY on this page: http://churchtechcamp.com/LIVE/LIVE.html

Grabbed it with two clicks on my Mac during the song. I would give attribution for their work, but I frankly couldn’t remember anything else after a great day of fantastic discussion. Someone else help me out with their name and summary/link of the church where they play. Was a neat vibe. Church IT Roundtable Worship mp3.
