The GCC Community Website's Mission
statement:
We exist to glorify God by
celebrating Him and encouraging others to celebrate Him in all things.
The PURPOSE of the Glendale list is for followers of Jesus Christ to build up and encourage each other toward becoming and being the people Jesus mentions in John 4:23
through the sharing of overall vision, questions, specific problems, experiences, testimonies and practical suggestions. This should generate questions and discussion from
all who are interested in growing closer to Jesus by celebrating and glorifying
Him through worship, ministry, evangelism, discipleship and fellowship.

What can you post to the list?
The possible topics for the GCC Online Community are incredibly expansive. Here are a few topics which would fall within the scope of this list: worship,
ministry, evangelism, discipleship, fellowship, testimonies, church history, and
church activities.
Please do not make any of the following posts to the list:
(1) Off topic postings. (For example: Don't just talk about your favorite sports team.)
(2) Divisive theological postings.
(3) Virus warnings and/or Urban legends.
(4) Unkind or inflammatory posts. (Disagreement over issues is fine, but please
disagree in a Christ-like manner).
(5) Illegal Activities (Including copyright violations).
Please follow these posting guidelines. The advisors to the list will be tracking violations of the guidelines and you will be notified of such violations. Three violations may
result in your suspension from the list.
What About Prayer Requests?
Like all other posts to the list, prayer requests should be related to our
church family in some way. Since the GCC list is a public forum please use
discretion and don't allow the list to become a forum for gossip.
What About Advertising?
We do want members to be aware of services and products that are of potential benefit to subscribers. On the other hand, we do not want the list to
be cluttered with advertising. Therefore, "commercial" messages from subscribers can be posted to the list a maximum of one time per
month. The products/services should be of benefit to our subscribers. These posts should be informational only (no "hard sell" advertising) and of
reasonable length. Commercial content in email signatures is allowed if it does not exceed four lines.
What about Cross Posting?
If you are sending your post to more than one list, be sure to send the post to each list separately. Do not include addresses of other lists in the address line of posts sent
to the worship list. This causes an assortment of problems when someone from another list tries to reply to your post.
Is There Any Email Etiquette I Should Follow?
Please follow basic email etiquette. This includes, but is not limited to the following:
(1) Do not quote the entire contents of a message in your reply to the list. Do include just enough of a quote to let the readers know what you are responding to. A few
lines should be enough.
(2) Before responding to a message, ask yourself if the message should be sent to the entire list, or if it is best directed privately. If your message is of a personal nature
and/or does not further the discussion, then it should be sent privately rather than publicly.
(3) Do not send "amen" posts.. Messages which say nothing but "amen," "me too," "I agree" and so on simply clutter the list. These messages can and should be sent
directly to the person with whom you are agreeing.
(4) Do not send your messages in HTML or RTF format (this includes the stationery option in many mail programs.) Do not send any attachments (including V-cards).
The list processor is programmed to reject messages in any format other than plain text. It will also reject messages with attachments. These messages will not go
through to the list.
How do I Post Messages to the List?
To post messages to this list send your email to:
glendale@glendalechristian.org
You must send your messages from the address at which you are subscribed.
It would be good to introduce yourself in your first message. You might want to include your name, age, occupation, where you live ,
what brought you to Glendale, your Glendale involvement, and why you joined the group.

Who Runs This List?
The list is financially sponsored by ozarksonline.com. You can find a great selection of
internet related services at our sponsor's site: http://www.mwainc.net/
The list is operated, maintained and facilitated by GCC staff. The list is "advised" rather than
"moderated." This means that posts are sent to the list without being screened.This makes it very important that everyone follow the guidelines. The advisors to the list
are responsible for keeping the discussion on appropriate topics, and will contact subscribers who violate the list guidelines.
Please note that any address that bounces mail will be unsubscribed. If you don't receive any mail from the list for a while please contact us at:
help@glendalechristian.org
Welcome to the list! We hope to hear from you soon!
