Due to the generous hard work of a member, Hope Presbyterian Church will soon (by Sunday, August 24, hopefully) be debuting a brand new web site! We are excited by this, as the ‘facelift’ will give the site a much cleaner, more modern appearance.
These days, more often than not, before a person visits a church, he will visit that church’s web site. The web site becomes a primary means of communicating to the world a concept of who we are and what we are like. It is important that the site give to those who come an accurate as well as attractive picture of who we are. We are hoping this site does that even better than the last site.
The most popular use of the web site has been as a source for people to download sermons which they either missed or because of distance or absence could not be present to hear. If you are one of those who has been downloading sermons, you will find the new site to be much simpler to use. Plus, we will have far more sermons. The previous site limited us to 12. This site erects virtually no limit.
The site will be accessible via the same www.gohope.net address. However, if you have set up an RSS feed or podcast for your sermon downloads, those links will probably change. You may need to update your reader/subscription.
I hope the transition is as painless as possible for all concerned.
Special thanks to Tim for his great work on the previous site, and to Keith for his investment in the new. You guys are such great assets for the kingdom!

*grin*Even 10 years ago, we’d use the ‘net to find a church to visit (even if they didn’t have a website.) Though that did lead to some interesting misadventures in only having an address and no clue where we were going. . . *L*I think it’s great that all the sermons will be available. Looking forward to the new site (and hooray for the tech guru putting it together!)
