“You are One of the Great Ones and far more important than you may realize,” an encouragement for all church communicators

9 October, 2022 By Yvon Prehn Leave a Comment

Church Communicators are the GREAT ones in the Kingdom of God
Your work may seem challenging and overwhelming, but church communicators are truly the Great Ones in the Kingdom of God. Heaven will be different because of the work you are doing today.

It's easy to forget the incredible importance of your work with all the hard work it takes to be a church communicator. The devotion below will help you remember.

You are one of the Great Ones and far more important than you may realize

Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever. (Dan. 12:3)

Often when I ask someone who has come to one of my church communication seminars what they do in the church, they often respond by saying something like: “Oh, I’m just the church secretary” or “Oh, I just help work on the church newsletter” and similar self-deprecating statements.

My heart is broken when I hear that because the person who says it (and you may have thought similar things about yourself) has no idea of their true worth.

1 July, 2022 By Yvon Prehn Leave a Comment

Strategic Summer Communications
Fun is expected at summer events, but we can do so much more at the ones hosted by our churches. This eBook and video will show you how.

Summer is a time when people expect to have fun at special events. When we host events at church, we can do that, but as with every holiday or special event we put on, we can do so much more if we are strategic about our summer communications!

One of the core teachings of Effective Church Communications is to remind you that holidays and special events are key times to both—grow your church in numbers and your people in spiritual maturity!

Doing more than stopping at fun only is what distinguishes how we have fun in the summer from other worthwhile places. There is nothing wrong with fun, but we also have the opportunity to perhaps change the course of the eternity of people in our communities by our strategic use of the opportunities people come to church in the summer.

This eBook and video on Strategic Summer Communications will help you do that. [Read more...]
