Top Up Your Web Skills This Summer With Our FREE Online Resource
by Bill Anderton

It is summer and many people are involved in vacations, out-of-town church conferences, picnics, summer camps, days at the lake, children out of school and hundreds of other seasonal distractions. Plus, it is just too darn hot to get too enthusiastic about doing much of anything.

Called “caniculares dies" (days of the dogs) in ancient Rome, we’re in the period of summer beginning in the first week of July and lasting to the second week of August.

It is the dog days of summer.

However, our Online Ministries Special-Interest Community is very active during the dog days. Cool content is being added to the community on a weekly basis.

Join us. Grab a tall iced tea or lemonade, kick back and learn about church websites with our FREE online learning resource.
