The Florida Church IT Roundtable is less than a week away. All the information you need is available at fl.citrt.org. Some great churches will be there to share, network and invest in each other. I know I and some other will be there early Sunday night for some great hanging out and networking time, as with any IT gathering I’m sure this will involve some great food and something techie. See you there!

Florida Church IT Roundtable
After a few posts on the topic and limited connections, I’m excited as that as the National Church IT group has gotten bigger and gained more members and exposure that those that I’ve been able to meet and get connected with those a bit closer to home. As I’m sure all that have been to the in-person roundtable events whether regional or national there is nothing like sitting down and being able to talk and think together. Jason Reynolds has taken the big leap and tentatively set some dates and through out the invitation in a blog post yesterday. For day-to-day connections you can’t beat the IRC chat room and twitter. Stop by and say hi, we won’t byte.
Free Non-profit Email Marketing
As is with most things recently the best way to find out about great offers and promotions for churches is through the CITRT IRC chatroom. The latest was as I was searching for a Email marketing program such as Constant Contact, iContact, or similar. As I found who others we’re using, Vertical Response was mentioned, and then that was followed up with the fact that they are free for non-profits. This is almost completely true, they give 10,000 free emails a month to non-profits, and then 15% discount on everything else. I’ve sent about 2,500 emails with them since Friday with no problems, they are easy to use, have open, bounce, and click-through tracking. I love free things and think you will too, try Vertical Response .
Online Church IT Prayer Group
There has been numerous times that I or others have made comment that the CITRT group should have a prayer group of some sorts. After scrolling through my blog, I came across an old post, April 18th, 2006, to be exact, on people2pray.com. So I created a group for the Church IT people, please join in as we come together to lift each other up in prayer and in knowledge.
