What's New: A Publishing Home for the RoseBouquet?

I'm sorry, I was checking out DADA support last week and found I need to sign up for their discussion group and watch for the techie info that might be shared that I could use to solve the problem.

I went to check out the systeme.io but it looked a bit complicated. So yesterday I checked out KIT (which used to be ConvertKit). It has a free account for up to 1000 subscribers.

Then I found instructions for using systeme.io's newsletter mailing part and I swayed that way again. Watching some how-to videos I saw two others were highly recommended and FREE. Beehiiv and one meant for writers. (That name escapes me just now)... but I was too sleepy to do any more research. So I decided to send this one out privately from my email again, and be sure to have a new platform ready within the next day or two.

Let me know if you don't mind that I enter your email as I am testing these systems. I don't like the idea of switching to another system in another week or two if one does not work out. But testing them will take a bit of time.

At any rate it is good to know there are so many to choose from.

How to Find a Good Church & Get Involved

If you don't have a good home church that you love, you need to find one.

1. Listen for those who rave about their church. They may be too effusive, but it might be worth a visit or two. Just observe and watch for signs of people speaking kindly, even encouragingly to others before and after the service.

2. If you hear false doctrine, don't go back there. But if you find it hard to tell, call during the week and ask to speak with the pastor. Ask your questions politely but you can let him know that you are trying to discern if, or which church is right for you and your family. Godly ones don't mind that attitude and if you have any questions about their doctrines - ask him to explain them to you.

3. Smile at people - even after the service, move out slowly, smiling at them will give people the courage to step up and introduce themselves and ask your name.

4. Ask friendly questions, their name, work, family, etc. If they appear warm and friendly, you may even ask them if they know Jesus, and how they came to know Him. True believers will be GLAD to tell you their faith testimony! (If they appear to be too shy, just reassure them that it is okay. Glance around for another person to talk with.)

The more enthusiastic the people you chat with the more likely you are going to feel this church is worth a few more visits. You may even be invited out for lunch with them! (I've had that happen!)

When you end up with several warm, friendly chats with people, you will warm up to this church. Give them another chance to confirm their gladness at meeting you.

If you are invited to mid-week home Bible studies do accept the invitation if you can make it. This can be the start of some great friendships. Those who appear to be most spiritually mature will become your best friends and counsellors/mentors over time. They are the most priceless friends you can have!

In case a crisis comes up in your life, connect with those mature godly friends as soon as possible. Their prayers and encouragements will bring you great JOY!
