Create a post to promote any events you have on the docket. This is also a great way to get more volunteers if you need!
A church event doesn't have to be glamorous, crazy organized or fancy. It can be as simple as "women's night" where all the women in the church get together to connect over some waffles. Or family game night, where the church can come together for a night to make memories as a family! The goal of any church event is to facilitate connection.
Share a text post with a Bible verse about trusting in the Lord. There are plenty of verses on trust out there, but here are some great ones to pull from!
