Our computers allow us to communicate via email with our members about not only worship activities, but also service activities.” “Computers also facilitate not only our financial activities, but also communications between our various co-operative organizations… It is amazing what can be done more efficiently when better communication is facilitated by the use of computers.” - James Davis of Bethany Presbyterian Church, Sacramento, Calif.
