If you liked the video created for Mother's Day with the scrolling images and pictures--you can't believe how easy it is to create your own. This brief video is an introduction on how to do it for FREE or for very low-cost. Next week I'll be adding an additional video or videos that will expand how to use this powerful software.
Connection Cards for Mother’s Day–essential tools for follow-up
Connection Cards are vitally important for your Mother's Day outreach success, because if visitors don't give you their contact information, you won't be able to follow-up with them. You might have a huge attendance on Mother's Day, but if the next Sunday is back to your usual numbers, you've missed a great opportunity to connect.
If you give church visitors an opportunity to share a question or a prayer request, you will be amazed at how many people will share with you. If you follow-up promptly and compassionately, you will make a significant connection.
To save you time in this important task, I've created some cards that are ready for you to print and use. The files below are part of a ZIP file below. For each of the cards illustrated below it has:
- A PDF ready-to-print file
- Editable MS Publisher file
- PNG image (perhaps you want to add it to a PowerPoint announcement and encourage people to fill it out)
Additional designs of Mother's Day Connection Cards

Don’t let the need for custom graphics keep you from creating your website–do them with MS Publisher!
You may be considering creating the website for your church or for a personal blog with WordPress, which is a great idea and one I strongly recommend. But though WordPress is a very easy way to create a website, you may be concerned about how to create the custom header nameplate and maybe some custom graphics for special events.
You have a reason to be concerned because many people will tell you that you need to create these in programs like Photoshop, but your church doesn't have money for the program and you have no time or desire to learn it. But did you know that you can create headers and custom graphics with MS Publisher? Really. You can. And it is SUPER easy to do. [Read more...]

One Mother’s Prayer, free sample and for ECC Members the text and download link
This short piece, One Mother's Prayer, has probably been impacted more people than anything else I've written. It is the simple, but true story of a young man whose life was going very wrong, whose Mother prayed and his life changed.
It was first published in Today's Christian Woman magazine. It was repeated in their Best of Ten Years of writings, it has been reprinted and republished all over the world, and it continues to bring tears to the eyes of any group I read it to. You are free to use it any way you want and share it however you want.
It is useful for Mother's Day, for Moms in Touch and other prayer ministries and to give out in Children's ministries.

ECC Members will get the all of the additional PDF formats: 2 more 8 1/2 by 11 plus 4 other versions on half sheet size plus the jpgs of the larger files and an MS Word text file if you want to create your own publication.
