"End of Summer" Local Ads for Congregations

The end of summer - whether it marks the return to school or simply the return to routine - is a good time to reach out to people in your community who may be considering giving a local church a try.

Emerging Spirit has developed a new series of congregational
ads specifically for use by local churches. They are easily modifiable and available in a variety of sizes and colour schemes (log in and click on the image to access the downloadable files).

These congregational ads can be helpful promotional tools for helping those in your community find out more about your church and ministry, and perhaps come by for a service.

Check out the full "End of Summer" series. 

Emerging Spirit Launches Dynamic New Website

Emerging Spirit, The United Church of Canada's initiative to reach out to people who don't go to church, has launched a new website designed to support congregational leaders in their work of welcoming newcomers.

The new Emerging Spirit website, www.emergingspirit.ca, offers all the basic information about the campaign, including registration and other specifics for the campaign's congregational popular training events, Living the Welcome.

An expanding "tool kit" of video, audio, and print resources offers downloadable, "hands on," resources to help congregations become more welcoming and relevant, connect with those in their communities, understand the attitudes that 30-45 year olds hold about faith and the United Church, and more.
