Why?
We spend a lot of time communicating with our parishioners. We want them to know what activities are happening at the parish, and how they can get involved. What if we could improve our weekly communications, but do it without extra effort, money, and to-do lists?
What?
Presenter Matt Smith will offer a fun, informative morning for parish leaders. He will give practical tips on improving your bulletins, announcements, flyers, parish website. Come prepared with pen, paper, and a laptop! Matt will lead real-time exercises to give you momentum.
