How to use Mother’s Day to Grow your church, evangelize, and disciple

28 April, 2019 By Yvon Prehn Leave a Comment

Mother's Day gets the third highest attendance at church right behind Christmas and Easter. What churches often forget is that the large increase in people does not come from more Mothers attending--they are there every week! It comes from the unchurched children and spouses who show up to make mom happy on her special day.

Churches that recognize this and use church communications in a way that makes the most of it can make it a day truly worth celebrating for Mom's because nothing is more wonderful to a Mother than for her child to come to know Jesus.

Our Church Communications Training School has a short video course: How to use Mother's Day to Grow Your Church, Evangelize, and Disciple—and it will totally change how you approach Mother's Day!

How to pass on sensitive ministry information for domestic abuse, drug abuse, and pornography addition help

Church Ministry Business Cards — A tastefully done business card can let people know about ministries that can help them in challenging life situations.

Our world hurts. People hurt each other and they hurt themselves.

The good news of the gospel is there is healing for every hurt available in Jesus and given out by his people, the church.

The challenge is how to connect the hurts and the help.

One of the most effective, but seldom used ways is with church and ministry business cards.

Here is how they can work

On this site is a selection of FREE cards. Below are a few of them, at the end of the article all the ones available to download.
Download the cards and then on the back put the resources available to help that your church has or that are available in your area.
Give out the cards to people in your church to share as needed.
BUT ALSO--what many churches have done is to make up the cards and then place them in restrooms at church, preferably INSIDE the stalls. When you do this, a person can pick up this small card (much better than a big brochure) and privately make use of the information on it. Churches that have done this have told me, "we replace the cards frequently."

Pray for the people who need the resources

You never know who might pick up a card. Perhaps someone traveling, someone visiting your church, perhaps a member living in pain or shame.

But the Lord knows and we can ask he direct people to the resources they need and that they will find healing and help.

Below are pictures of all the cards in this set. These cards and dozens more cards for you to invite people to church and other ministries HERE.
