Communication
The Kirk is blessed to have among its members a number of
writers, artists and photographers who volunteer their time
and talent to keep the community informed about what's going
on at the church. These talented folks send ads, press releases,
articles and photographs to the local newspapers, The Village
Voice and Hot Springs Sentinel Record, as well as setting
policy and writing articles for Kirk publications, designing
posters and other publicity materials and creating displays
for the church's bulletin boards.
The
Website Committee, a subcommittee comprised of members
of the communication and administration committees, directs and
oversees the Kirk's website. |
