Effective Church Communications has dozens of Resources, including articles, podcasts, and FREE Templates you can use for all the Easter communications you need for before, during, and after Easter.
These are from our Template and Podcast vaults--we will be creating new ones for 2023, but I know many of you want to get started on Easter planning and many of these designs and the strategy linked to them are timeless.
The FREE templates have all the work of communications done for you: the design, layout, choice of type, and copyright-free artwork is all done saving you many hours. The Templates are in both ready-to-print PDF format (which you can personalize on the back) and easy to modify, MS Publisher files. Please let others know about these resources. Following is the link to all of them:

We have much more than the Templates themselves because if you are going to be truly effective in your use of them, you need a wise strategy underpinning what you do. The podcasts, article links that follow, and the Church Communications Training course (link at the end) will give that to you.
