REMEMBER Bulletin Inserts: for Sept 11 or other times of difficulty

28 August, 2011 By Yvon Prehn Leave a Comment

Sept 11 bulletin Redo
This bulletin insert is appropriate not only for Sept. 11 but for any time you want to remember God's faithfulness. The Zip file for members has specific ones for Sept. 11 as well as PDFs & other editable versions.

There are many times in life that we need to remember God's faithfulness and these publications will help. Effective Church Communications has created an acronym for REMEMBER width each letter the start of a phrase that will remind your people of how we need to REMEMBER God in all the hard times.

The PDF to the left is a free PDF for everyone for those times. Just click on the image to download it. You can use it as a bulletin insert (it prints 2 to an 8.5 x 11 page) or flyer, or any other way you want. You can personalize it on the back and add any additional encouragements or information. For ECC Members there is also an editable MS Publisher file of it in the ZIP File below.

Additional designs specifically for Sept. 11

For the U.S., Sept. 11, 2011 is the 10-year anniversary of the tragedy and this year, it falls on a Sunday. For the Sept. 11, versions we have printed the REMEMBER acronym over a picture of the fallen twin towers. This image is one from the U.S. government archives and is in the public domain.

For Effective Church Communication Members we also have a downloadable ZIP file, available at the end of this article that has ready-to-print PDFs and editable MS Publisher files of the bulletin inserts that reproduced on this page.

For those members who are not in the U.S.  and for other times that are difficult, there are also files that contain more inserts for the acronym that are not specific to Sept. 11.

Video: What is a TEMPLATE on Effective Church Communications and how can you use them?

24 August, 2011 By Yvon Prehn Leave a Comment

Templates are one of the best resources on this site because they will save you HUGE amounts of time when you need to create many church communications. Though the foundational work is done--many have artwork, text, design and much more done for you, you can change them to suit your tastes and for your church.

There has been some confusion about what makes a file a Template and what makes a file a PDF? What can be edited and what can't be? This video will help answer your questions. Below the video are notes for it and a LINKS & RESOURCES sheet in PDF format that has all the links talked about in the video. Just download the PDF and you can click on the links or if you would prefer to go a website and link directly to the templates shown in the video, CLICK HERE.

Churches can grow either by adding members or by growing discipleship and multiplying members through discipleship. This chart is from the 5 Steps of Effective Church Communications and Marketing, by Yvon Prehn available or FREE at the ECC Library, at https://ecclibrary.com/b/hvqNJ

Veterans Benefits, Outreach, Services provided by churches

15 August, 2011 By Yvon Prehn Leave a Comment

Veterans, both men and women do so much for us and  when their official time of service is over, they have many needs that churches can help to meet.  On this page, I'll share stories from churches on what you've done to reach out to, help and encourage Veterans.

A tribute to Veterans on 11/9/11

This was an email in response to some information we did on Vista Print and it has a great story about a Tribute to Veterans with a great personal tie-in.

Thank you so much for the info regarding Vista Print.  We held our first annual Tribute to Veterans Benefit Concert last November and are all excited about the SECOND annual Tribute to be held this year 11/9/11.  The details you sent will help us greatly get out the word.  We are a very small church but had almost 300 in attendance, about 50 performers and presenters for veteran orgs. and collected over 15 boxes of new clothing and personal hygiene items which were distributed to Soldiers' Angels, a local Stand Down for homeless Veterans and our local VA hospital.  This year is going to be biggger and better with GOD'S help and direction.  HE is the one responsible for last year's success.  There were so many ripples to the initial inspiration, all proving that GOD is in control.

OK, story a little long but so precious I have to share.  In the July 16, 2010 edition of the local paper a story was written about a man (Patrick Seminario) who wrote a song, Freedom's Cry, in honor of our troops.  He credited his school music teacher (Doug Moreland) with his success in his music career.  Well, Doug is our church organist and when I read the story I thought it would be great if we could do a tribute and have Doug get Pat here to sing.  Well, Pat couldn't come but he sent CD of his song and his family came.  He IS coming this year (from Tennessee) and is going to sing.  I've also had offers from local businesses to be part of the event and they are helping me write letters looking for donations.  PRAISE GOD.  Lots of ripples to share but would take up too much time.  Just know we serve a MIGHTY GOD and it has been so inspiring seeing HIM at work.  All we need to do is listen and be willing to step out in faith.

Thanks again,
Joanne
Levittown Community Church
