This year the NCCUMC put much of the Annual Conference online at this site.

You can view video from the general sessions, read proposed amendments, and see how the votes went.  You can even follow the NCCUMC on Twitter.

I applaud those folks who made the effort to put this online for those of us who could not attend.  This is a great way to increase lay involvement in the workings of the Church.

I know many Churches, mine included, have jumped right into using a Facebook group, but some may have reservations.  If your Church has reservations or concerns, this document may help you.

The Church and Facebook
