Free Social Media Invitation and Postcard Templates for Mother’s Day, set 2, using AI-generated images in BOTH Canva and MS Publisher

26 April, 2023 By Yvon Prehn Leave a Comment

Free Mother's Day Social Media Invitations
This is one of a set of Free Social Media & MS Publisher invitations for Mother's Day. This set of images was created using the AI program in Canva.

This second set of Social Media invitation templates for Mother's Day was created using AI-generated images. To go to Set #1, CLICK HERE.

I did them in Canva using variations of the prompt: "Mother's Day background, using flowers, roses, or lilies." I changed the style for variations of the images. I wasn't looking for anything spectacular, but something useful. I then resized them in Canva and added the text boxes.

Below the images of the social media are links that will take you to the Canva files and MS Publisher files where you can modify them however you wish, adding your church's specific event information, or referring them to another place for it. Regardless of where you direct them, be very clear as these messages may be forwarded (hopefully they will be) to someone who may not be familiar with your church and exactly where you are or when you meet.

REMEMBER the most important reason for using these invitations

Of course, you want to make Moms happy by inviting their loved ones to attend church with them but remember that this is a fantastic opportunity to share the good news of salvation in Jesus with family members who may not have heard it or responded to it.

Do honor Mothers on this day, but most of all, with all the unchurched family members who will attend this day, be sure to make it one of your best outreach days of the year.

Mother’s Day Resources — Don’t miss out on the fantastic outreach and evangelism opportunities at this time!

13 April, 2023 By Yvon Prehn Leave a Comment

Mothers day image
This is part of a set of images that can be used to celebrate the women in your church on Mother's Day or anytime. CLICK on the image to go to the set.

Mother's Day has the third-highest church attendance of the year, right after Easter and Christmas and the reason for that isn't because of the Mothers that are there—

It's because of the unchurched spouses and children who showed up on that day to make Mom happy!

Because of that, Mother's Day is THE most important evangelism and outreach opportunity you have all year. But sadly, few churches take advantage of this reality.

This video will not only give you ideas on how to make the most of Mother's Day, but previews the FREE resources you can go to implement it at: https://www.effectivechurchcom.com/templates/mothers-day-templates/.

All the publications in the video are at the link above including the sheet for One Mother's Prayer.

eBook on Mothers Day and the evangelism opportunities of itFor this eBook on Mother's Day Strategy, go to this link: https://payhip.com/b/ryS73

For the Printables shown below that celebrates godly women and says, "Favor is deceitful and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised," plus many others appropriate to celebrate moms, go to this link: https://payhip.com/b/ryS73

At the link above you can download files that can be used in everything from social media sizes to large posters. You can also print out 5x7 or 8.5x11 sizes and put them in Dollar Store frames to share with the women of your church.

Here are the varieties of images available:

Why the emphasis on evangelism and discipleship for Mother’s Day

11 April, 2023 By Yvon Prehn Leave a Comment

Mothers Day Resources
Celebrating Mothers is important on Mother's Day, but we can do more to reach out to unchurched families at this time.

The reasons for doing more on Mother's Day that focusing solely on celebrating Moms has to do with the overall approach of the Effective Church Communications ministry.

Bear with me for a few minutes while I explain (and if you are super busy, just go HERE for free Mother's Day Templates).

Brief background of the philosophy underlying Effective Church Communications

I never imagined when I was astounded with the technical ability of the IBM Self-Correcting typewriter that I'd be communicating today creating images in Canva, doing podcasts, and training videos for church communicators on the web that reach the world.I imagine those starting out with the technology we have today will look back, should they and this world last, and be amazed at what they will use in church communications five decades from now.

Tools are essential, but often a distraction

Though technology and the tools we use to communicate have continuously changed from the use of clay tablets to the Internet (though the pace has accelerated greatly), a human tendency continues to focus on the tools as THE most important ingredient to communication success. At one time it was radio that would reach the world, then television, then the Internet came along and gave birth to the myriad of technologies today.

A bulletin with color added was a big deal at one time; now churches worry that they aren't posting enough on all the latest social media channels.

Each time a new tool appears we loudly proclaim THIS IS IT! Conquer this or that tool and the world will be reached for Jesus. Or at least we'll have a new tool to try. [Read more...]
