Get Info & Updates from the NEHBC Youth Ministry via Text Message

This week our youth ministry is starting a trial run of a messaging system that will allow us to send updates and information via text messages to registered users. Unless you have been hiding under a rock, you know that teens have made text messaging their preferred form of communication. Email and web-based communications just don't grab their attention. This has also become the norm for many adults. Utilizing this system allows us to jump right into their text based world and put information in front of them where they go to get it the most. We are also inviting parents to register for this service. The system gives us the capability to communicate with different groups individually. For instance, we can send parents information without sending it to students. As a parent, you will have the option to receive both student and parent updates.

If you are interested in signing up to receive text updates about the events and happenings in the youth ministry at NEHBC simply email me your name, cell phone number, service provider, and if you want to receive student or parent updates, or both. There will also be a form available at NEHBC this Sunday (Oct. 31st) that you can fill out and turn in to get started. The standard text rates as set by your provider do apply. You can decide to stop receiving the updates at anytime. If you are ready to take part in this service, please email me the required information: twheeless@nehc.com
