“When the idea of creating a web page for our church was presented to the Board, the first questions were . . .  'why would we need a website?'

. . . 'what will it cost?'   Five plus years later, more and more people are viewing our website daily, according to the tracking results provided; members, former members who haved moved away and families moving

to the Ashland area are 'checking us out', via the website, and joining our community of faith.

We now provide 2 versions of our Christian News & Views Newsletter:

The web version gives our monthly calendar of worship opportunities and highlights of news and events of the congregation. The 'private' version

(e-mailed to those who wish to receive it instantly at their home or office) provides birthdays, anniversaries, new addresses / phone numbers, etc. for the membership, while providing the privacy they have chosen. Comments have been that 'I was able to get great information timely,

in a format that is quick & easy to refer to throughout the month.

What more could you ask for! ' "

"The Ashland Historical Society - also known as the Saline Ford Historical Preservation Society - has published a quarterly newsletter for several yrs. - preparing & editing it numerous times . . , printing & mailing it to the membership list, always wishing that we could reach a larger audience of people interested in our community's rich history.

The concept of a website was thought about, however it was always on the 'back-burner' because of costs, etc. We were able to 'launch' our web site in February of 2010. We have been amazed at the number of notes received through our Contact Us page. Their messages have come from . . literally all over the world! A young serviceman, serving our country in Iraq - a native of Ashland writes that he is so pleased to be able to learn more of the history of his hometown, and to be able to show his fellow soldiers where his home town actually is!

We have also received notes of inquiry from heirs of ancestors from the area concerning their families, historic memories of their youth or the verification of stories their parents, grandparents, etc. have told them and request for information about landmarks in the Ashland Area."

We are very grateful for our 'window to the world!"
