It's a special day for Dads and what better way to start off Sunday than with a WELCOME! PowerPoint slide just for them? Following is a set of welcome slides I created that use the same artwork as many of the communication created for Father's Day.
Below is a gallery of the images and below that a link to a ZIP file that has the images and the PowerPoint file of them.

To celebrate Father's Day, I created a set of PowerPoint Slides for church communications using verses and some wonderful quotes about Fathers. You could use these at any point in your church service. After creating them, I decided to make them into a video and the video has two versions, one with a voice-over reading the verses and one with only music. You can do whatever you'd like with the videos and please share them.
Below the videos are the images and after the videos, a downloadable ZIP file of the PowerPoint slides that you can use in any way you want.

When your church hosts special events this should be the start of a relationship, not simply a one-time visit. But to make that happen you need to get your visitor's contact information. Following is a process you can use to get that information, samples of communications that will do it and follow-up cards after the events. There is a generic one and also examples for fall outreach and one for Christmas.
One of the best ways we've found to do that is to have a drawing for a special prize related to your event and ask people to register for it. You can be very upfront that you will be using the information to contact them and that, if at any time they want to be removed from your mailing list, it isn't a problem. You don't want to hide your purpose and most people don't mind when you let them know the details upfront. [Read more...]
The following set of Templates was inspired by the article by Gayle Hilligoss and the postcards she created for Valentine's Day outreach for her church. The ones I created prior to seeing her wonderful creations filled the entire front of the card and assumed you would personalize them on the back. I loved her idea of having all the information on the front (much easier to print, etc.) and so I created some templates for you to modify and use in your church.
You could use these as postcards or hand-out invitations. The church office can print them and then put in 5 in each bulletin on Sunday. From the pulpit encourage the congregation to pray and send or hand them out. If you have a special Valentine's Day event (dessert buffet of chocolate is what we did one year, it was a big hit), give the details of that on the back.
Below are images of the cards and below them is the ZIP File to download and modify for your churches.

Hundreds of children will be coming to your doors this Halloween—why not take this opportunity to invite them to church? Below are some cards that can help you do this.
I'm making this file FREE for everyone because it's exciting to think about what might happen if many of you make up hundreds of these cards and give them to the children of all ages who come to your homes on Halloween.
PLEASE share this with friends, other churches, people who go to your church. [Read more...]
