About this time last year we included a request like the one boxed on this page, along with information about services we provide from CHRISTIAN STANDARD. Once each year is not too often to remind you about these:

Sign up for our free weekly e-newsletter. Delivered directly to your e-mail inbox, it offers a review of key articles in CHRISTIAN STANDARD as well as news clips about current happenings in Christian churches.

To get your copy, go to our Web site, www.christianstandard.com. Just enter your e-mail address in the box on the lower left of our home page, and you”ll receive your own copy of this weekly update.

Tell us what”s happening at your church. It”s easy. To suggest items for our e-newsletter or our semiweekly “Buzz” column, just write [email protected]. To report items for “News in Brief” (this includes changes of ministry, anniversaries, coming events, job postings, obituaries, or personal items), mail them to us at the address below, or e-mail them to http://[email protected]. (Find guidelines for reporting everyday news items at our Web site. And if you”re not sure whether your item belongs in “Buzz” or our regular news columns, just send it, and we”ll decide!)

Want to comment about something you find in our magazine or at our Web site? Just click the “Letters to the Editor” link at the top of our home page and follow the instructions from there. Most letters are posted to our site the week we receive them, and many appear in the print magazine as well.


 


 

 

Calling All Megachurches!

If your church averaged 1,000 or more in weekend worship attendance during 2007, we want to include you in our annual megachurch issue.

If you were listed last year, you should have already received an e-mail from us with the form for reporting your statistics.

If we somehow missed you last year, if you haven”t received our e-mail request, or if 2007 was your first year to average above 1,000, please let us hear from you this week.

Our deadline is approaching soon. We must receive your data by February 11 for your church to be included in this year”s issue. Write [email protected] today, and we”ll forward our simple form for you to complete.

Each year our megachurch issue is one of our most popular, mainly because it contains information unavailable from any other source. We work hard to make the information complete and accurate, and we depend on our readers to make this possible.

Is your church a megachurch? Please make sure you”re listed in our megachurch issue!
