Something For the Moment 

Digital Security Community of Practice: Inspired by Larry Stritof’s helpful program “General Introduction to Digital Security Practices,” we will be convening a Community of Practice. Join Janette Lallier over the course of five Fridays in April and May as we learn together how to implement some of the suggestions. Each week will focus on one thing we can do in our personal lives and one for our ministry context. Click here to register.
