The note is a powerful tool…


Facebook, twitter, text messaging, and in some cases email, are great ways to communicate with the students we minister to, but there is still something significantly powerful about the handwritten note delivered via snail mail.  Written on a postcard, these simple messages serve two major purposes.  First, they encourage the student who receives them.  Students love mail and love the personal touch of a handwritten note.  Second, they encourage the parents of the students.  Because it’s a postcard, they can sneak a peek at the contents of the card before their student gets their hands on it.  Writing a note takes about two minutes.  Mailing it costs about $.30.  Take time to write a note to a student this week.

Totally agree man! I've had parents talk with me about how much it meant to them for me or one of our small group leaders to send their student a card.
