Promotion Materials
30 Second Promo Video
Show this video in your main church service for two or three weeks before the class starts. Either tag onto this video with the dates, times, and place, or have someone announce that information verbally. It is always a good idea to coordinate any announcement with church bulletin inserts as well.
Poster and Flyers:
If you right click on your mouse on the poster or flyers, you have the option to save image as to your computer, so you can print them out. The posters will look better if you print them in color before posting them. The sheet of flyers can be printed out once in color or grayscale, and photocopied. Each paper should be cut into fourths. You can use these flyers as bulletin inserts and handouts.
