In 2000, two separate congregations, Huff's Evangelical Lutheran Church and Huff's United Church of Christ, who had worshiped in the same building for many years, began living as one. Here one finds the best of both traditions of the Reformation, with a willingness to look at the future and adapt to it. Huff's Union Council has adopted a Facebook posting policy (see below)
This group is for :
Hu
ff Union Church's members, friends, neighbors and visitors that would like to learn more about our worship, programs and the two denominations of which we are a member. We seek to use Facebook to equip God's people to do God's work to build up the body of Christ, the church. (paraphrase of Ephesians 4: 12)
1. Because we are concerned about privacy of those in our church, we will not post names or other identifying information for those persons younger than 18. We will not post personal addresses nor private phone numbers of any member, unless they have been publicized elsewhere and are needed for contact purposes, such as, to purchase something through a fund raiser, or to register for a program. We will not publicize ways to contact our home-bound members on the internet.
2. We expect that all postings will be kind and will "build up the body of Christ."
3. We expect that all postings will be for the benefit of the entire group. If you have a question that is specific to you, please address it to our pastor through Facebook messenger, e-mail (found on our website--www.huffschurch.com), or phone the church office. Please do not feel offended if we remove postings applicable to one person only.
4. We will not link to anything for profit. Our links will be to our denominational sites, or to non profits, which we support.
5. Sometimes you may not agree with a denomination's stance on a particular issue. Please view such postings in a charitable manner, and as ways to challenge us to listen to another point of view. This is not a forum for arguing theological points or their political applications.
6. We ask you to refrain from posting anything supporting a particular political candidate or party, or that might be considered to be negative to a particular group of people.
7. If there are those who deliberately post the same material repeatedly, or bulk upload material, the excess material will be removed.
8. If there are those who continue to not follow our boundaries, the person would be graciously reminded of our boundaries, but eventually be removed by an administrator.
