Get Your Strategy On
If you haven’t already, I highly encourage you to sign up for the free weekly newsletter from WiredChurches.com. In addition to providing recommendations on upcoming training opportunities at Granger and resources that might assist you in ministry, the newsletter always features a brief article on a specific leadership/ministry topic. This week’s article on staffing from Executive Pastor Tim Stevens is very helpful. If you sign up now, we’ll also give you a free leadership download.

Nothing better for getting people to sign up than free stuff.
Handy little guide too, will help me to prepare for the upcoming church plant!
This may be just me, but for some reason when I opened the free PDF and printed it, the grey box “Ministry Information” (pages 4-5) section printed with all messed up characters, ?’s and #’s and what not - nothing legible. This was when opened and printed from Preview (OS X Tiger). I reopened it in Adobe Reader and printed and that seemed to work out fine, just thought I’d let you know of that though.

Jesse, thanks for your post about the free download. I work with Tony at Granger Community Church and WiredChurches.com. I am also an Apple user and am familiar with this hiccup you mentioned. On occasion, when opening pdfs on my laptop through the Preview option, fonts are not always as they should be, but when I open the file using Acrobat, everything appears normal. I’m assuming this is because we used Acrobat to create the pdf, and Acrobat embeds the fonts and images. I’m glad you were able to view it using Acrobat. I’ve just changed my settings on my computer to open all pdfs with Acrobat and not Preview. Any idea on how to create the file so those using Preview on their Macs can view it normal? Or, wait, Tony how about you let the communications staff use Apples instead of Dells? That sounds like a fantastic and innovative idea. :)

Go figure. I’ve never had that problem on my PC using Windows. Thanks. Now I have one more reason to love Bill Gates. :-)

And what do we early adopters get who had already signed up for the newsletter? :) I’ve been receiving it since February…
