9:12	MeredithGould@MeredithGould @skenow @alanrud Those of us who survived sociology courses certainly prefer that moniker! #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:12 MeredithGould

9:13	Denise Gorss@Denise205 OK, so who’s brave enough to step up to the microphone first? #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:13 Denise205

9:13	AZ Rork@azrork @NickiinNY We just finished rebuilding ours. What a looooong process! #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:13 azrork

9:13	David Hansen@rev_david Isn't every night "open mic night?" Isn't that what social media is?? ;) #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:13 rev_david

9:13	Steve Kenow@skenow @mnplatypus Hey, Angela - good to see you! Did you make it to #smshep this month? Work days aren't opportune times for me #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:13 skenow

9:15	Denise Gorss@Denise205 @azrork Can you share any tips about rebuilding process? #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:15 Denise205

9:15	MeredithGould@MeredithGould @skenow @azrork Just told someone I died on the hill known as The Website when I was a pastoral associate...years ago. Not pretty. #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:15 MeredithGould

9:15	NickiinNY@NickiinNY @azrork Ours was rebuilt last year but I can't seem to get groups/ministries to submit info or to learn to do themselves. #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:15 NickiinNY

9:15	Steve Kenow@skenow Here's an opener - what did you think about the sm coverage of #cwts12? #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:15 skenow

9:16	Denise Gorss@Denise205 @alanrud Thanks for a starter question before I had to throw one out there! #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:16 Denise205

9:16	Justin DeVore@justindevore @Denise205 Where do I follow along in the #chsocm weekly discussion? Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:16 justindevore

9:16	David Hansen@rev_david RT @skenow: what did you think ab sm coverage of #cwts12? // I thought the social media team for the gathering did a great job! #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:16 rev_david

9:16	Denise Gorss@Denise205 @skenow For moderator and others not familiar with that tag, it's what? #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:16 Denise205

9:16	AZ Rork@azrork @MeredithGould Ha! At a previous congregation, we tried to rebuild, but it was too daunting. We never finished. #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:16 azrork

9:17	Kate Shaner@everydayakita #ChSocM We do lots of conversation with our kids on FB, especially HS. None of them like twitter Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:17 everydayakita

9:17	Vida Jaugelis@Vida_SpCare @skenow I tuned in late Sat. at #cwts12 and the hashtag helped me connect with others right away. Also liked their livestream #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:17 Vida_SpCare

9:17	MeredithGould@MeredithGould @justindevore Just add the hashtag --> #chsocm and follow it using a platform like Tweetdeck or Tweetchat. Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:17 MeredithGould

9:17	ChurchSocMed #chsocm@chsocm @justindevore Just add the hashtag --> #chsocm and follow it using a platform like Tweetdeck or Tweetchat. Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:17 chsocm

9:17	Denise Gorss@Denise205 @justindevore Tweetchat is one good option. Follow tag #chsocm to jump in! #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:17 Denise205

9:17	David Hansen@rev_david @Denise205 #cwts12 was the 2012 ELCA Youth Gathering. Last week, 35,000 ppl in new orleans #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:17 rev_david

9:17	Thomas Riggs@anglibyerian @sarahrushly I use twit to interact w/youth, but not communicate events. Ive found that FB is now out of fad. #ChSocM Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:17 anglibyerian

9:18	AZ Rork@azrork @NickiinNY We're working on that too. We think a monthly reminder in session meetings and quarterly reminders in their comm mtgs. #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:18 azrork

9:18	Steve Kenow@skenow @Denise205 #cwts12 is "citizens with the saints" - the @ELCA youth gathering in New Orleans (NOLA) last week. 34K youth! #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:18 skenow

9:18	Cathy Kerr@11oclockscholar @sarahrushly re teens I don't have much dir exp, but know that many denoms are adopting policies because of safe church concerns #Chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:18 11oclockscholar

9:18	NickiinNY@NickiinNY @azrork So true but make clear ultimate goal of website. #chsocm @Denise205 Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:18 NickiinNY

9:18	Alan Rudnick@alanrud "@everydayakita: #ChSocM We do lots of conversation with our kids on FB, especially HS. None of them like twitter" Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:18 alanrud

9:18	Thomas Riggs@anglibyerian @sarahrushly Also, Instagram is now trendy. #ChSocM Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:18 anglibyerian

9:19	MeredithGould@MeredithGould @azrork At my church, I tried to get them into a CMS rather than code-dependent. Years ago. #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:19 MeredithGould

9:19	Vida Jaugelis@Vida_SpCare @alanrud Have you got feedback as to why twitter unpopular with your youth? #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:19 Vida_SpCare

9:19	AZ Rork@azrork @alanrud Aside from outreach/promotion, we didn't use SM in VBS. #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:19 azrork

9:19	David Hansen@rev_david MT @sarahrushly: How much do you interact w/teens & youth on twitter, fb, etc?? #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:19 rev_david

9:19	beckydurham@beckydurham @sarahrushly Hahh--I forgot it was #chsocm time. Just totally jumped right in, no hashtag ;-) Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:19 beckydurham

9:20	Denise Gorss@Denise205 @skenow Thanks! #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:20 Denise205

9:20	Miranda Gray@mirgray @rev_david @skenow The youth gathering was interesting #chsocm. I still don't know if bishop's handle was useful if he doesn't follow back Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:20 mirgray

9:20	David Hansen@rev_david RT @revrevwine: @rev_david @skenow thanks David. // You bet. Y'all really did a great job, & I'm glad to let ppl know that! #cwts12 #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:20 rev_david

9:20	Steve Kenow@skenow @Vida_SpCare me too. I found out through the folks here, not my church (ELCA) - the videos are amazing! @elcagathering #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:20 skenow

9:20	Thomas Riggs@anglibyerian I think that certain youth are VERY loyal to either FB or twit, but not both. I've found myself gravitating to twit. #ChSocM Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:20 anglibyerian

9:20	Angela@mnplatypus @NickiinNY @azrork lol I've decided as good as that looks as a goal it just isn't realistic #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:20 mnplatypus

9:20	Paul Steinbrueck@paulsteinbrueck @skenow @rev_david What platform had the best engagement for #cwts12? & among teens or youth pastors? #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:20 paulsteinbrueck

9:20	AZ Rork@azrork @everydayakita And our kids prefer Twitter and Instagram. And I'm sure that will change next week! #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:20 azrork

9:20	Alan Rudnick@alanrud @azrork hmm, interesting. Often people use SM for promotion and not engagement. #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:20 alanrud

9:20	NickiinNY@NickiinNY @azrork I've spent a year trying to convince ministries this is a viable, easy platform. I've taught 1 ministry how to use. :-( #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:20 NickiinNY

9:21	Sarah R@sarahrushly I want to keep my private accounts private and just use youth group accts for dealing w/the teens. #chsocm @beckydurham Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:21 sarahrushly

9:21	Denise Gorss@Denise205 MT @MeredithGould I'd love someone to explain how Instagram is used to engage & build community. What makes it social media? #ChSocM Me too! Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:21 Denise205

9:21	David Hansen@rev_david @mirgray @skenow Be interesting to see what happens with that account! #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:21 rev_david

9:21	Alan Rudnick@alanrud @Vida_SpCare Well, Twitter, I found is used by older youth. 16-18 year olds. #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:21 alanrud

9:21	Josh Hale@expatminister I owe @revrevwine a new @FaithGrowth blog post. Thinking about how social media helps bridge communities & platforms. WDYT? #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:21 expatminister

9:21	Sarah R@sarahrushly @anglibyerian Facebook does seem to be going the way of...well, people my age! #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:21 sarahrushly

9:21	Denise Gorss@Denise205 @beckydurham No problem! I'm moderator and forgot it when I started tonight. :) #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:21 Denise205

9:22	Thomas Riggs@anglibyerian @MeredithGould They share pics of their lives with each other. Goofy, funny things that are referenced on twit. #ChSocM Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:22 anglibyerian

9:22	AZ Rork@azrork @MeredithGould Yes - our previous site was very difficult to update. Now anyone who can use Word can update the site. Nice and easy. #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:22 azrork

9:22	NickiinNY@NickiinNY @MeredithGould @anglibyerian Instagram can host discussion & community building. Also, can post to pinterest. #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:22 NickiinNY

9:22	Steve Kenow@skenow @paulsteinbrueck I saw most of the #cwts12 activity on Twitter, but YouTube has been hopping as videos are getting uploaded #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:22 skenow

9:22	MeredithGould@MeredithGould @azrork Which platform are you using? #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:22 MeredithGould

9:22	Thomas Riggs@anglibyerian @MeredithGould Then a run of pics of a specific topic gets going. #ChSocM Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:22 anglibyerian

9:22	Miranda Gray@mirgray @rev_david @skenow Still can't decide if bishop should follow hundreds of youth but they sure wanted to engage w him more directly #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:22 mirgray

9:22	David Hansen@rev_david @paulsteinbrueck @skenow Looked like Twitter far & away best with youth. FB with parents. @revrevwine / @elcagathering? #cwts12 #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:22 rev_david

9:23	Sarah R@sarahrushly @alanrud @Vida_SpCare Yes! It seems the see youth are plugging into twitter more! #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:23 sarahrushly

9:23	Kate Shaner@everydayakita @azrork #ChSocM and that is why we are in youth ministry:) I think it is just as important to find a platform to engage parents too Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:23 everydayakita

9:23	AZ Rork@azrork @alanrud I've found engagement easier with young adults and youth. Older adults with families (VBS) prefer to watch from sidelines. #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:23 azrork

9:47	Miranda Gray@mirgray @azrork @Vida_Jay Yes, you have to monitor and have a plan on how to cancel pre-scheduled tweets if needed. #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:47 mirgray

9:47	Rob Allen@froggent @azrork Beach bum is correct. #ChSocM Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:47 froggent

9:48	Vida Jaugelis@Vida_Jay @azrork Sounds like it was a fully automated account..there'll always be those..I guess I'm thinking more like scheduling just a few #Chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:48 Vida_Jay

9:48	MeredithGould@MeredithGould @tinklepony @azrork Sometimes scheduling makes sense for announcement tweets. I schedule tweets about #chsocm transcripts being up. Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:48 MeredithGould

9:48	AZ Rork@azrork @tinklepony Absolutely. But sometimes necessary, I know. So, again - sparingly. At least that's MHO. Do you agree? #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:48 azrork

9:48	MeredithGould@MeredithGould @ofredrick Liturgical dance. #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:48 MeredithGould

9:48	Paul Steinbrueck@paulsteinbrueck @Denise205 One idea would be to find/post testimonies of Christian Olympic athletes. #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:48 paulsteinbrueck

9:49	Steve Kenow@skenow @MeredithGould: @skenow @mirgray @revrevwine as a strategy, it would seem to be more effective to use the account judiciously #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:49 skenow

9:49	Thomas Riggs@anglibyerian Are there privacy issues when youth tweet using an event hash tag and it's posted where entire group can read it? #ChSocM Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:49 anglibyerian

9:49	Denise Gorss@Denise205 @azrork I do some scheduling, but know I can cancel if necessary #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:49 Denise205

9:49	Vida Jaugelis@Vida_Jay @azrork I'm on westcoast and on twitter late in evening...so have experimented with scheduling a tweet or two for the next AM #Chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:49 Vida_Jay

9:49	Nora Ortiz Fredrick@ofredrick @MeredithGould Do mainliners dance? *shudder** #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:49 ofredrick

9:49	Miranda Gray@mirgray @MeredithGould I typically follow conference account before and after event. I have unfollowed during. #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:49 mirgray

9:49	Denise Gorss@Denise205 @Vida_Jay Sounds like a good use of scheduling. #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:49 Denise205

9:49	AZ Rork@azrork @Vida_Jay Yes. Like I always schedule a post about our pastor's blog and sermons each week. #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:49 azrork

9:50	Denise Gorss@Denise205 @MeredithGould Only if there's video accompaniment. #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:50 Denise205

9:50	MeredithGould@MeredithGould @mirgray That's a sensible strategy! #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:50 MeredithGould

9:50	Luke R@30smthngdad @tinklepony @azrork Can be useful to disseminate info, esp regular updates. And can respond live if followers interact. #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:50 30smthngdad

9:50	Lindsey@tinklepony @azrork @MeredithGould I see the value in scheduling reminders etc. but nothing designed to be engaging. Use like bulletin board? #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:50 tinklepony

9:50	Sarah R@sarahrushly @anglibyerian Probably depends on the size and location of the event. #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:50 sarahrushly

9:50	Nora Ortiz Fredrick@ofredrick @Vida_Jay I'm in Alaska, so I do too. #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:50 ofredrick

9:51	AZ Rork@azrork @Denise205 Yes, me too. #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:51 azrork

9:51	Miranda Gray@mirgray @paulsteinbrueck Would that great stuff get lost in Olympic madness? #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:51 mirgray

9:51	MeredithGould@MeredithGould @tinklepony @azrork Yes, exactly. Use it like a bulletin board & then don't gripe about no engagement! #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:51 MeredithGould

9:51	Alan Rudnick@alanrud @chsocm T? How did or would you use social media to respond to Penn State/CO shootings/etc...? #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:51 alanrud

9:51	MeredithGould@MeredithGould @alanrud How does that have to do with --> #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:51 MeredithGould

9:52	Denise Gorss@Denise205 @mirgray @paulsteinbrueck Maybe, but some would get through to the people who'd be interested, so worth trying #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:52 Denise205

9:52	Steve Kenow@skenow @mirgray probably better that way - best for volume and quality #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:52 skenow

9:52	Lindsey@tinklepony @MeredithGould @azrork Yup, I agree with that. #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:52 tinklepony

9:52	Rob Allen@froggent At our senior high gathering, we had a hashtag for it. did not have a tool for streaming it. We pulled screen shots of it. . . #ChSocM Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:52 froggent

9:53	Rob Allen@froggent . . .once posted. Tweets from youth increased after we posted them. #ChSocM Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:53 froggent

9:53	Luke R@30smthngdad @sarahrushly @anglibyerian I avoid common tags that can have who-knows-what on them, but an event tag is safer. Always spam tho. #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:53 30smthngdad

9:53	Denise Gorss@Denise205 @MeredithGould @alanrud I think there's a pastoral aspect there that fits with #chsocm goals Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:53 Denise205

9:53	NickiinNY@NickiinNY Was just wondering this. "@alanrud: @chsocm T? How did or would you use social media to respond to Penn State/CO shootings/etc...? #chsocm" Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:53 NickiinNY

9:53	AZ Rork@azrork @alanrud Our assoc pastor posted a prayer as a FB update and I tweeted a prayer from our account and people responded.. #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:53 azrork

9:53	Alan Rudnick@alanrud @MeredithGould Don't churches reach out, engage, or minister in tragedy/grief through #chsocm? Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:53 alanrud

9:53	Miranda Gray@mirgray @anglibyerian IMO, not if they tweet "well" the rest of time. Some clearly registered at event wo any clue about privacy issues. #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:53 mirgray

9:54	MeredithGould@MeredithGould @alanrud Yes, of course but not using the #chsocm hashtag. I got confused & thought that's what you meant. Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:54 MeredithGould

9:54	Brock A Webster@B_RockW @alanrud @chsocm #PennState I use it to voice my heart where no one will look down on me!!! #Chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:54 B_RockW

9:54	AZ Rork@azrork @froggent I love that. #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:54 azrork

9:55	Denise Gorss@Denise205 Just a few minutes left. Final thoughts? Best links of the week you want to share? #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:55 Denise205

9:55	Nora Ortiz Fredrick@ofredrick Call to prayer and call to action. Our ecumenical group is calling for blood donations now since summer is low period. #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:55 ofredrick

9:56	Steve Kenow@skenow @30smthngdad @sarahrushly @anglibyerian Once a topic/hashtag starts trending, you're going to get spammers. #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:56 skenow

9:58	AZ Rork@azrork @alanrud That's the associate pastor I'm talking about -----> @AHoodster. She's getting very good at #chsocm engagement. Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:58 azrork

9:58	Miranda Gray@mirgray @froggent The youth gathering had a fair number of tweets from youth wanting to be seen on twitter wall. And trying again and again. #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 9:58 mirgray

Steve Kenow@skenow @30smthngdad @sarahrushly @anglibyerian an interesting point - how do congregations prepare their youth to use SM during events? #chsocm Tuesday July 24, 2012 10:00 skenow
