Realm: Joining the Family News Group

FamilyNewsGroup

We want our family to stay in touch. A phone call or face-to-face conversation is always best. But how do we stay up-to-date with important, more personal news across the larger church family?

Realm can help.

After you set up your Realm account*, you can join the Family News group and receive updates on births, hospital stays, funeral arrangements, baptisms, weather-related worship gathering updates, and more.

*Realm accounts are for long-term members or those who have attended Discover Hendersonville.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I get a Realm account?

A: If you are a long-term member, contact Brian Holaway, Director of Communications. If you have recently attended Discover Hendersonville you will receive an invitation soon.

Q: Why isn’t everyone automatically added to the Family News group?

A: While Realm offers a very user-friendly way to stay informed, we don’t assume you want every piece of information available. We also believe it is poor stewardship of your personal information to subscribe you without permission. Thankfully, Realm allows you to choose what information you receive.

Q: Can I request prayers for a friend, neighbor, or extended family?

A: Yes, but without permission from the individual (or the personal in charge of the individual’s personal information) the request will go only to the elders and ministers. We respect personal information and circumstances by requiring permission from the person before we publish the request to the entire congregation.
