Web 2.0, Social Networking, Blogs, Podcasts, News Feeds, RSS, XML, Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, YouTube. The list goes on. A lot has changed since the Sacramento Conference and area Lutheran congregations first went online with web sites in the mid-1990s. There are now a plethora of tools and services that make communicating so multifaceted and it's hard to know which is the right trend to follow, and which flash-in-the-pan services will still be popular a few months from now. But it's all about community, and community is you, your congregations and those whom we serve and partner with.

The embrace of the World Wide Web (a term that seems archaic now) by local congregations has been very successful. Most congregations maintain a web site, and all are connected via e-mail. Now, the Sacramento Conference is moving ahead and exploring a number of the latest technologies in the social networking space. We will be featuring a workshop at the November 2nd Fall Assembly to report to and assist those that wish to join this new information revolution. However, it's not too early to start exploring and get familiar with these new tools and how they can benefit you in information retrieval and improved communication.

These are just a few of the services now offered through the Sacramento Conference web site at http:/SacramentoConferenceELCA.org

And of course, links to local Lutheran resources.

Check out the web site and associated resources. Participate in the social networking elements. Be active!
