Just a reminder for
all Prescott Church people, a gentle appeal from the Emergings
editor, especially as we approach the holidays:
If you're in charge
of, or know something about, any event that will take
place in our church building, or church-related activities outside the building,
please be sure to give me info about it as much in advance as
possible unless you want to limit the communication to people whom
you plan to contact yourself (e.g., invitation-only
events). That way I can let the entire church body know
about it through newsletters and other publications. We have a lot coming
up in the next few weeks and things get confusing around the holidays, so it's
especially important right now to keep our calendar current and
forward-looking.
NOTE: If you
put something on the church calendar in the office or call someone in the church
office, that doesn't mean I have it in my office, where the newsletters and
emailed announcements are usually prepared and distributed. You need to
contact the church office with these things, especially to make sure
there's no schedule conflict with another event, but while you're doing that,
please include me in the info distribution. My email is twa...@fordharrison.com, work phone
291-1552 (which has voice mail -- let it ring a while
first).
The kind of info I
need are the usual journalistic things:
WHAT -- What is
it? Does it cost anything? Is childcare
provided?
WHO -- Who's doing
it? Who's invited to it? Are volunteers needed, and if so, to do
what, and whom should they contact if they want to
volunteer?
WHEN -- Beginning
and ending time, and if it's off-site, when & where to meet.
WHERE -- If
off-site, any directions? Rides needed?
WHY -- What's it
for, e.g., worship, education, ministry, fellowship, fundraising, some
combination thereof?
Many thanks for your
attention to these communication details, which are so important to the life of
our congregation.
