#ChSocM (Church Social Media) Chat Transcript: Plan Ahead for October!

Dare to Plan Ahead!

Tonight's chat moderated by Regina Heater (@reckshow) 

Topics: 
T1 September often marks a kickoff for ministries. Are you “kicking off” any #chsocm -specific ministries this fall? 
T2 What’s your community’s major non-chsocm focus or goal this Fall? 
T2b How can you use #chsocm to facilitate this focus/goal? 
T3 How might you enhance interfaith relations during the Jewish High Holy Days with #chsocm? 

Halloween is an obvious fall holiday we can leverage for #chsocm. See this transcript from last year for some ideas http://goo.gl/446lNF But let’s talk other October opportunities. 

T4 Oct. is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. What role does #chsocm have in spreading awareness of health issues? 
T5 What are some Lesser Feasts/Fasts/Dates coming up that we can use #chsocm to mark? 

 For our closing prayer/benediction, would each of you offer a prayer/blessing to the community?
