I often find myself talking to church/ministry leaders and recommending various free tech resources to help them in their ministry. Hence I've compiled a list of those apps that I end up using and recommending the most:

• Google for Domains (aka Google Apps). Standard Edition is free for everyone, but the Premier Edition is free for 501(c)3 groups. Apps include:
  • Email (10G Premier - 2G Standard)
  • Calendar
  • Docs and Spreadsheets
  • Chat
• Picasa2 - for working with pictures.
• Picasa Web Albums - for posting those pictures :-)
• Audacity - for recording sermons and prepping for podcasts
• DreamHost Business Plan - for website storage. Again, Free for 501(c)3 groups.
• Drupal - for Website Content Management and blogs
• Google Analytics - for web statistics
• Feedburner - for RSS/podcasting (and even email notification)
• Google Groups - for creating email mailing lists/discussion groups.

And just to help keep up with all that's going on

• Jott - This should really be way up at the top of the list. somehow. This is an amazing service. Think: "personal transcription" converted to email note.
• Google Reader - RSS reader.

And I'm starting to get into

• Backpackit - for organizing lists/tasks

And naturally, everyone should be using Firefox!

Most of these resources are free for anyone, but the DreamHost and Google Apps Premier are only free for 501(c)3 groups.

I have a feeling I'm missing a few, but that's a good start. :-)
