Fall can be a busy time for church communicators. There are a lot of balls in the air, and it can be a challenge to stay on top of everything. You’re definitely not the first one to feel that way.
Kelley Hartnett and Gerry True talk about how to handle that craziness:
“We are getting ready to launch an all-church study that begins next week, we’re doing Hugh Halter’s Flesh. At the same time we’re relaunching our whole group structure for our church, and then we’re moving into a generosity initiative and then we’re into Advent. I don’t know about the rest of you, but this particular season in church communication feels a little crazy making. So I’m just now beginning to implement some of the strategies—I go back to the basics: What is a communication plan, how do I implement it, what are the best ways to make sure I’m sharing the right information through the right channels, how am I making sure that I’m prioritizing my audience rather than what I want to share—making sure that I’m prioritizing what they might need from me. So it’s a little nuts right now, to be honest with you, but I think that’s the reality of church communications.” -Kelley Hartnett
