Use Social Media to Celebrate Baptism

During my conversation with Meredith, she told me about her recent wedding and how she made a real-life event, a completely social experience. She shared the whole story in her book Getting #Married: Using Social Media to Celebrate the Sacred. In short, it’s an excellent guide for planning and sharing your wedding using social media. However, it also challenged me to think more deeply about how the church can use social media to celebrate and share the sacred outside of the four church walls.

 

 

Facebook Events Turn Church Events Into Huge Outreach Opportunities

Is this it? All that volunteer time and effort for two people? Maybe worse yet is looking around at a “public” event and seeing only familiar faces. A lot of work goes into planning church events (learn how to make church event planning them easier here) and it is always a shame when the event falls short of its potential to reach more people in our local community. Behind every missed church outreach opportunity, are a lot of invitations that were never extended. Thank goodness for Facebook events.
