Website Wednesday

Like most nonprofits, much of the work done @ the office & on site would be IMPOSSIBLE to get done in a days/week/month/throughout the YEAR without volunteers. The help of volunteers, whether it is cooking @ a work camp, helping with phone-a-thon, or simply stuffing envelopes for direct mailings, frees the hands of staff members to complete other tasks. Like last week, when the Youth Today's arrived, and needed to be in the mail by the end of last week.

This is Garnet. Not only is she a dear friend, but she's pretty talented with direct mailings.

This task, that took the better part of a week, would have been impossible to get out on time if not for the help of people like Garnet, Verdella, and the many people who have offered their time and services to Christian Endeavor - Mid Atlantic. We cannot thank them enough for the hours they have given in service to the needs of youth & young adults throughout the Mid Atlantic region; even if you didn't know it, volunteers are the lifeblood within this place, & we want to make sure we ALWAYS show you how great they are, and how much we appreciate their help.

There are numerous ways that you can help out CE - Mid Atlantic. Often, it could be as much as making some phone calls to new churches, telling them about CE's activities. We think word of mouth is the most important way YOU can tell others about CE. So if you had to tell people about Christian Endeavor... what would you say? Leave a comment & let me know.

In other news, I'm going to shamelessly promote CE today (ahem.. like always, you might say!) and direct you to a great website you might not have ever stopped at: OUR OWN. We're in the midst of a HUGE redesign campaign, complete with new logos, graphics, and an updated website- and we want YOUR input! What else would you want to see on CE's website? What can we do better with? We consider ourselves on the peak of a great change around here- God has blessed the hard work of the past year, and is about to push CE into a new threshold of ways we can help youth & young adult become strong & faithful leaders for Christ. That doesn't happen unless we have your support.

Support comes in four different ways: prayers, presence, gifts, & service. In which way will you be motivated to help us in 2009?
