Much like historical heroes, church communicators have to make the most of what they have, draw on deep reserves of strength, and somehow save the day.
I've always been suspicious of the advice from productivity gurus. Then I got crazy busy and had to sort through what worked and what didn't. Here's your guide to productivity.
"Our church is in the beginning stages of developing a creative communications ministry team and Rethink Communication has helped us to navigate the unknown."
We've been exploring what works with church bulletins and for some, no bulletin works: "Guess how many complaints we got? Zero. To this date that holds true. Zero complaints."
What kind of stories is your church telling? You could be listing details about upcoming events or needs, or you could be sharing stories of God's grace.
What works and what doesn't with your church bulletin? "I decided to incorporate everything into one document which has made the process much more streamlined."
What works with your church bulletin? "Our goal before services start is for our people to be connecting to each other, not burying their heads in a piece of paper."
