The world feels a bit chaotic. Our screens are flooded with political ads, conflicts and unsettling news. In the midst of this noise, the church stands as a beacon of hope. We hold the message of hope, peace, love and joy—brought to earth when Jesus was born in a humble manger.
And now, more than ever, is the time to share that message with a world in need. There’s still time to create a meaningful Christmas series and invite your community to experience the message of Jesus.
Journey to Christmas With The Chosen
In partnership with The Come & See Foundation, Outreach.com is offering churches a free four-week Christmas sermon series digital kit and the opportunity to stream The Chosen Christmas special. This series draws from Luke 1–2 and includes key scenes from The Chosen’s Christmas special, “Holy Night.” It explores the great turning point that took place on one holy night centuries ago, and reflects on how that same transformation can happen in our lives today.
The kit includes sermons, videos, clips from The Chosen, artwork and a discussion guide—all at no cost. Additionally, matching invitations, postcards and banners are available to promote the series. To learn more, visit Outreach.com/TheChosen.
Christmas Invitations and Smart Mail
How can you effectively invite your community to your Christmas events? The truth is, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. A multi-touch approach works best, combining various methods to reach people.
Consider these strategies:
* Equip your congregation with personal invitation cards. Set up an invitation station in your lobby with invite cards. Encourage your members to share them with neighbors.
* Leverage social media. Use posts, videos and targeted ads to promote your holiday events. A consistent cadence of posts keeps your audience engaged, while social ads can help you reach people in your local area.
* Use direct mail through Outreach Smart Mail. Direct mail postcards can boost your response rates by up to four times. Outreach Smart Mail not only delivers a physical invitation to homes, it also provides your church with a free Gloo QR code linked to a texting subscription, allowing you to engage with potential visitors. Plus, through USPS Informed Delivery, marketing emails will also be sent to recipients.
By combining these approaches, you can ensure that your neighbors are not only invited but feel genuinely welcome at your church this Christmas. Learn more at Outreach.com/SmartMail.
Let’s work together to share the hope of Jesus this season.
