GIS: Innovative way to invite people to Easter services: “Egg” your neighborhood!

28 February, 2017 By Yvon Prehn Leave a Comment

Egg your neighborhood easter invitation
"Egg" your neighborhood with an invitation and an egg filled with candy--great idea for outreach and Easter promotion!

This is one of the most creative ideas I've ever seen to invite people to Easter. It was sent in by a contributor to our Great Idea Swap . In addition to being a great invitation to Easter, it also gives potential visitors great information about church ministries and outreach activities. It is very important to do this because you are letting your community know that the church is about so much more than holding special events.

They may not attend your church for Easter, but if they are new to the community or lonely, the invitation gives information about regular services and small groups. In addition, the church lists Job Search Support and No Cost Financial Counseling and this is a wonderful way to let the community know the church cares about the whole person.

To the left is a picture of the container for the cares below is what the cards look like:

A Season of Inviting, start the fall off right

2 September, 2015 By Yvon Prehn Leave a Comment

As I was doing research for creating invitations to get people to come back to church, I found this absolutely FANTASTIC video and group in England that has taken the idea of just one Sunday to invite people to a season of inviting. The video is a joy to watch and the idea of expanding from one time to a whole season of inviting.

Giving your congregation six times throughout the fall and advent season to invite people to church greatly increases the possibility they will attend. I just found this and am still thinking and praying about how I will use this for Effective Church Communications--but for now take a few minutes to watch the video.

Come back to church, two videos

This link goes to one of my very favorite videos here on inviting a stranger to church, plus an older video, but still EXTREMELY important – it is about Invitation Cards and how essential they are for year-round inviting.
