Church Communications Toolkit
The Rio Texas Conference has created an editable Canva toolkit to help churches communicate with their congregations.
Current Resources Include:
• Sunday announcement script
• Prayer and giving graphics
• Bishop Harvey message graphics
• Photos from the field
• Early Response Team resources
• Logos and branding assets
Make your own copy of the Canva file to customize text, add your church logo, and resize graphics as needed.
Social Media Graphics
These ready-to-use graphics are sized for social media and include suggested captions you can copy and share. If you'd like to customize the graphics for worship slides, newsletters, or your church's branding, use the Disaster Response Canva Toolkit.
As communities across Central Texas continue to experience flooding, we invite you to join us in prayer. Please pray for those affected, first responders, relief workers, local churches, and all who are serving their communities. Learn more and find ways to help at riotexas.org/disaster-response.
Bishop Cynthia Fierro Harvey invites us to continue praying for all who have been affected by flooding across Central Texas. As opportunities to serve arise, let us respond with compassion, generosity, and hope. Read the full message and find ways to help at riotexas.org/disaster-response.
