What's In This Session?

Does your church have a bulletin? 64% of responders said yes; 36% said no (0:31) This episode isn’t about eliminating your church’s bulletin (1:04) Principle #1: There is value in physical handouts at an in-person experience (1:20) Principle #2: Your church’s bulletin should align with your overall communication strategy (2:37) Principle #3: The less the content changes - the better (average cost of printing bulletin is $0.25 - a church of 100 people printing weekly bulletins costs more than $100/month) (3:29) Our overall communication strategy is The Central Hub - a single destination for every next step (5:10) Idea #1: Your bulletin should inspire action, not simply contain information (8:20) Idea #2: Your bulletin design should align with your church’s style guide (8:51) Idea #3: Your bulletin should be just as useful for new folks as it regular attendees (10:03) Idea #4: Your bulletin could be distributed monthly instead of weekly (11:14) Idea #5: Your bulletin should point your church to The Central Hub (13:35) What to include in your bulletin? Four squares -> Small groups, giving, prayer request, one BIG event (13:39)
