			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are having a difficult time finding a place to serve and get involved you are in the right spot.  We have created a classified section with current serving opportunities and descriptions.  It is in Paul&#8217;s letter to the Ephesians that we learn that God created each of us with the idea that we may be a part of the body of Christ (the church).  It is through serving one another and the community that we may attain all that Christ intended through giving his life for us.  <a href="http://fbcelgin.com/ministries/adult/service/classifieds/">you can click here to go to current serving opportunities in our classified section.</a> If after viewing opportunities you are still unsure you may consider taking our two hour workshop &#8220;D2 Wired for Ministry&#8221;.  Feel free to <a href="http://fbcelgin.com/contact-us/contact-info/">contact us</a> if you have any questions.</p>

We&#8217;re really proud of it and feel it will be a great asset to our active members and a great way for perspective visitors to find out about us.  We&#8217;ve made it easier to <a href="http://fbcelgin.com/contact-us/address-and-directions/">locate us</a> and <a href="http://fbcelgin.com/upcoming-events/">find our what&#8217;s going on</a>.  There is even a <a href="http://fbcelgin.com/about/im-new/">page</a> dedicated to new or perspective visitors.</p>
<p>Each week the site will feature a new blog post from a pastor at FBC.  Visit the <a href="http://fbcelgin.com/category/blog/">Pastor&#8217;s Blog</a> page to keep updated.  If you feel inclined, leave a comment and start a discussion.  Along with the blog postings, the site will also have an archive of both the video and audio sermons preached.  To see or hear those visit the <a href="http://fbcelgin.com/sermons/">Sermons</a> page.  Visitors to the site will have the ability to comment on those as well.  Our sermon audio files are available to subscribe to as a podcast on iTunes.  All the info about that is located on the Sermons page.</p>
<p>If you are unfamiliar with how any of this works or would just like some help learning how to interact with the new site don&#8217;t hesitate to contact the church.  Either ask to speak with Pastor Jason Poland or David Pohlmeier.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t forget, you can follow FBC on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/home.php?filter=app_2361831622#/group.php?gid=190493904033&#038;ref=nf">Facebook</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/firstbelgin">Twitter</a> and by subscribing to our <a href="http://fbcelgin.com/feed/">RSS feed</a>.  We also keep a library of photos on <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/36166059@N05">Flickr</a>.<a href="https://fbcelgin.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/newwebsite.jpg"></p>
