Most of you probably receive the weekly Senior Pastor letter via email, so this post is not news to you. We are seeking to be better managers of our resources here at McEachern by finding ways to save the resources God has blessed us with without cutting back on the important work we are doing in missions and ministry.
Did you know that each month we send out a 12 page newsletter to over 1,000 households? Think about that cost for a moment: paper, printing, copying, and postage, not to mention the countless volunteer hours spent preparing the newsletter for mailing. The postage alone costs nearly $1,000 per month.
Now, most of the newspapers and newsletters that I receive I get online. We want to do the same with our newsletter, The Vine. You are obviously technically savvy, otherwise you would not be checking this blog. I am asking for all our online folks to email Gwen Harper, Senior Pastor's Secretary, at gwen@mceachernumc.org and ask to be removed from The Vine mailing list. Instead, we will send you a hyperlink each month letting you know that the newsletter is available on line. You can read it online, or print it out at home or your office. You will receive it much faster than through the mail, and know that you are being a good steward as well!
Don't put this on your "to do" list. Do it now!

I think that this is a great way to use our money and resources that are available to us. It's like the Staples commercial...Hit the Easy Button!
