Getting started in the Unbinding the Gospel Community...
Sign Up and Start talking now!! You can now talk with each other - we have a new, free, discussion and discovery community online. What are you learning? What's happening in your life, in your church? What do you wonder about? Sign up and start talking with each other, the coaches and me. (If you're shy, just read what other people are saying.) You are coming up with GREAT ideas for using the Unbinding books in ways that change people's lives. Here's how to sign up:
1. Go to www.GraceNet.info and click on "NEW: Unbinding the Gospel Community." (coaching group pastors - the link is also on your pastor's home page) From the Community page:
2. Create a Community Profile for yourselves by clicking the "Register" link at the top right of the page (you don't need to use your real name for your screen name).
3. Accept the user agreement, create a username and password, enter your email address, and create a security question/answer in case you forget your password. For example, "What is your mother's middle name?" and "Penelope" or something like that. Then ...
4. ... start "talking!" You'll see lots of topics you can talk about. Here's how: A string of written "discussion" is called a "thread" or "topic." Just go to the area of discussion that looks interesting to you. It's called a "forum." Some of the forums are "Prayer and spiritual leadership," "Planning an E-vent," "Challenges," "What's next?"
5. Click on the name of the forum. You'll be able to read what other people have written. All topics within that forum will be displayed in a list format with the newest topics showing at the top of the list. Want to read the full text or say something back? Click on the title of the thread you wish to read or respond to.
6. Want to say something? If you want to "talk" with someone who has already started a thread (said something!), click on the "POST REPLY" button in the upper right hand of your screen.
7. Want to start a new topic of conversation (a "new thread")? Click on a forum, then click on "new topic" and type away! Easy peasy, lemon squeezie!
I'm looking forward to "talking" with you!
