My daughter is really engrossed in Facebook, as are many of her friends. Perhaps a way to reach our HS youth would be to setup a more organized Facebook (perhaps also Mypace) presence? We have one parent who is doing so, but it isn't actually an organized and coordinated activity. Thanks again, hope some others actually see this and comment.

But where and how are our member congregations using technology to "combine their voices" and really gather as an extended community online? We have some success using Wikis (see our web site c3huu.org) within our congregation, after modest success with LISTSERVs to enhance committee communications. Some of the UUA LISTSERVs are quite active, but the bulk of our members don't use LISTSERVs. My 15yr old daughter is aghast that we don't use Facebook (or MySpace before that) Annette,
