Text messaging at upoc.com

Text messaging has been around for a while. Over the last year or so its become much more accessible now that it comes with almost all cell phones. Its become so popular that schools and businesses have created rules against using them. We all have kids during youth group or on retreats pulling them out and connecting with friends or even parents. I believe the church can use this technology for ministry. Upoc.com Lets you send text messages to all your youth group kids and start mobile groups, so you can send one message that everyone gets. You can start a group for your junior highs and another for your senior highs -- as many as you need to stay connected with your young people. Some suggestions for how you might use this service are...Prayer Requests, Upcoming Events, Announcement and also just taking the time to ask your young people how they are. This is a great way to extend your presence in the lives of your young people throughout the week. Check it out at http://www.upoc.com
