If you have not already started planning for Advent and Christmas, now is the time! The Advent season is a tremendous time to reach out to your community. People without a church home are the most likely to accept an invitation to visit a church during the Advent and Christmas season.

Fortunately, United Methodist Communications is ready to help you and your church prepare for Advent. UMCOM will begin their national media campaign on November 17th. Ads will run on cable television in Austin and San Antonio and will be featured on digital platforms like Hulu and Google.

If your church would like to tie into the national advertising, you can order 100 FREE door-hangers that match the branding of the campaign. Hurry, supplies are limited. UMCOM also offers free sermon starters, worship slides, bulletin covers and invitation cards. You can even download newspaper ads for your local paper, social media graphics, posters and more. They are available in English, Spanish and Korean. Just visit the Rethink Church Advent site for more information.
