All the staff from Web-Empowered Church, Vine Hosting, and Christian Technology Ministries International are meeting on July 17-21. Since our team is spread many miles apart, we all get together once per year for planning, fun, and fellowship. We are meeting near Dayton, Ohio, USA at Ginghamsburg Church. This year's theme is "Improving the User Experience in Everything We Do." Please pray for the team and our time together as we discuss and plan for our exciting future serving you and the Christian community around the world.

It is a great encouragement and blessing to the WEC ministry when we learn of churches and ministries using any part of WEC. It also encourages those who are helping to fund WEC. Please consider requesting to list your website on the WEC Examples Page. Just login and then click on the "LIST YOUR WEBSITE HERE" link to begin the process. We usually review new requests and make them live on the WEC website at least once per month. Also, if you'd like to encourage WEC without listing your website on the public WEC Examples Page, then please go to the WEC Participate Page and fill out the form there. Entries there are tallied and reported to the WEC leadership. Thank you for partnering with us in ministry.

The new version of the WEC Starter Package for TYPO3 version 4.2.1 is now available on the WEC Installing Page. In addition to the minor upgrade to TYPO3, the package includes updates to several extensions. The WEC-TYPO3 Server, which allows you to run the WEC Starter Package locally on your own PC or Mac, is also updated and available.

As part of the upgrade to TYPO3 4.2, all the WEC templates have been improved and updated. All the WEC templates can be found on the Template Repository Page. You can also see the updated WEC Starter Package and updated templates on the WEC Demonstration Website.
