Today’s Friday Four is a brain dump of noteworthy items that need to be mentioned, but don’t have enough meat to have their own post.
1. Ask your men’s group to volunteer for the Dallas Cowboys.
I’m a big Cowboys fan, so I just happened to come across the notfication for this on their site. However, I’m sure they’re not the only professional sports team that needs volunteer help.
Sure it’s taking your guys away from either attending the game or watching it on television, from the confort of an easy chair, but think about the exposure your church may receive. Plus, you can always catch it on all of the closed-circuit televisions found throughout concessions.
There are conversations to be started and kingom impact to be made when men see other men serving. The Church needs more of that.
You could sponsor a limited giveaway, print a banner with your church website, or print t-shirts for your folks to wear with the graphic for an up-coming “manly” message series. Think big.
2. Use Twitter meetups for Kindom impact.
I heard Greg Atkinson talk about being a part of this a while back, and it got me thinking more churches or Christians should engage folks using this medium.
On Train Fridays, folks meet up and ride the train from Dallas to Fort Worth, with purpose, to take part of different activities including:
- Video Documentaries
- Man on the Street Videos
- Studying
- Book Buying
- Photography
- Fellowship
- Good Times
Recently, Greg mentioned the Train Friday meetup stopped at a children’s hospital along the way to minister to parents. Powerful.
3. Try some new Twitter icons, or 75+ of, them to be exact.

If you are posting your tweets on your site or still kicking around the idea, this post has a great collection of icons.
By the way, speaking of twitter, why aren’t more churches taking this approach? http://www.servolution.org/now
4. Museo Sans: The font I’m over-using right now.

I stumbled across this font, several months ago, and I keep using it in print pieces, and some web including the email template mentioned in this post.
It’s a great headline font, and known as the “sans with a familiar look.”
Let me know if you like it or if I should retire it.
It‘s quiet in here! Why not leave a response?
