Share Beautiful Day with Your Friends!

Much has been made in recent months of the role social media has played in the spread of information. In a matter of seconds, news about the latest natural disaster or civilian uprising reaches every corner of the globe. It's easy to see we live in a TGiF world: Twitter, Google, iPhone and Facebook are a major part of our culture.

This is especially true at WestGate Church, where employees from many of Silicon Valley's biggest companies attend every week and it's time to put that tech savvy to use.

The idea of turning "church service" into an outward expression of love for our community is gaining momentum and you can help it pick up speed! Help spread the Beautiful Day compassion revolution as you participate -- before, during and after.

Here's what to do:

Facebook
Log in and "Like" Beautiful Day, then tag it in mobile photos and post updates on the wall while you're working. At the end of the day, take a minute to talk about what you did in a status update and include Beautiful Day (at your computer, begin typing @Beautiful Day and a list will appear).

Twitter
Follow the @Beautiful_Day account and those of leadership team members @JonTalbert, @JasonEichacker and @WendyLCMP, then tweet your story and retweet others as often as you like.

To simplify the process, use one or more of the hash tags below so others can find you, 140 characters at a time. (Remember to include them if you use a picture uploader like TwitPic or Instagram, too!)
