Instructions for Setting up a Free eGroups Account
[Purpose] [Step
by Step]
eGroups.com is a free service
for group e-mail discussion lists, newsletters, or announcement lists.
They have many nice features that are well-suited for our purposes here.
They provide the service for free by placing a brief advertisement at the end
of each message sent through the list.
-
Announcement List:
For (1) announcing local meeting times; (2) reporting on previous
meetings; (3) exchange of coop information, such as "Barry has extra
corn for any one who would like it"; (4) announcing special local
events of relevance; (5) etc.
It should not be used as a discussion list, because that can generate
quite a bit more e-mail volume, discouraging some people from being
subscribed who only want to know about upcoming meetings and such.
-
Discussion List:
For unmoderated e-mail discussion for those from your area who wish to
participate.
Windows Tip: to toggle between most recently viewed windows, press CTRL-Tab.

MISSION:
To facilitate the local gathering together of those who are
awakened to an understanding of the gospel and government of
God as well as to the departures and threats these face in the
current society. To encourage fellowship, discussion,
camaraderie, activity, and implementation of the principles of
the kingdom of God.
The ideal marriage of church and state under God, promotes the
best in each individual by protecting their freedoms and
sanctifying their souls. |
- Primary Language: (default = English)
- Accept Terms of Service, Continue
- STEP 2 OF 3: Categorize Your Group
- Click on the "Society" hyperlink, then
"Government," then "Government-Related
Organizations"
(I've submitted the suggestion that eGroups add the
"Government" subcategory "Kingdom of God")
- Click on "put my category here" button.
- STEP 3 OF 3: Invite Initial Members
(An optional step. You can always do this later.)
- Enter email addresses
Begin with any associates with whom you already have established
a rapport.
- Choose invitation type:
Select "directly subscribe" if you are confident the
people will be fine with being added to the list. They can
easily unsubscribe if they prefer not to be on it.
- Enter an introductory message:
Your personal message to these people, e.g. "I thought you
would be interested in this. My apologies if you are not. You may
unsubscribe at any time by following the instructions that accompany
any message that comes from the list, including this one."
- Click on "invite members" if you entered some addresses
-- or "skip" if you did not. Now your list is
created.
- CUSTOMIZE GROUP SETTINGS
- Now that your list has been created, you might wish to change some of
the "settings," though the defaults should be adequate for
starting out.
- You might also want to upgrade some of the "members" to be
"moderators" along with yourself.
- LET US KNOW
Once your list is created, let
us know so we can link to it from your listing at http://www.patriotsaints.com/Branches
