Promotion
We want to help you get the word out about your event. Grace ministry leaders can use the promotional methods described below. Note: Non-Grace ministries may use the lobby tables, lobby posters, display carousel, and bulletin fliers when space is available.
Fliers
Flier annoucements are full or half page sheets that can be put in with the bulletin or handed out at the sanctuary door prior to each service. If you are interested in using a flier announcement, please read the Guidelines about Fliers and complete a Flier Approval form. This sheet should be returned to our receptionist in the church office as soon as possible but no later than the close of day on the Tuesday prior to the target weekend.
Please obtain a Flier Approval form from the Information Center, the Leader's Corner, or the office copy area.
Announcements
Announcements are live promotional pieces that occur during our services. If you would like to request an announcement, please read the Announcement Guidelines to see if your information qualifies for this type of promotion. If it does, obtain a Announcement Information form from the Information Center, the Leader's Corner, or the office copy area. Return completed sheets to our receptionist in the church office as soon as possible but no later than the close of day on the Tuesday prior to the target weekend.
Lobby Table
A lobby table is 6 or 8 foot table, complete with a standard tablecloth, set up in the main lobby. You may decorate and add table enhancements to draw attention to your ministry.
To request a lobby table, please read and complete a Lobby Request form available at the Information Center, the Leader's Corner, or the office copy area. Return the completed form to the facility manager by dropping it off at the Information Center in the "Completed Forms" folder as soon as possible but no later than two weeks prior to the target weekend. You may also mail it to Gerry Pettograsso or drop it off in his mailbox located in the office reception area.
Lobby Poster
Lobby poster announcements are broken into two categories; ministry-related and non-ministry-related. To request either type of poster, email our Facilities Manager as soon as possible but no later than the close of day on the Tuesday prior to the target weekend.
Ministry-Related
A ministry-related lobby poster can be 8 1/2 x 11 inches with a horizontal or vertical layout or 11 by 14 inches with a vertical layout. These posters are placed on the center wall of the lobby below the "Upcoming Events" sign.
Non-Ministry-Related
A non-ministry-related lobby poster can be any size from a business card up to 8 1/2 by 11 inches with a horizontal or vertical layout. These posters are placed on the wall to the left of the Media Resources window in a glass case.
Display Carousel
A carousel announcement is a flier 8 1/2 by 11 inches or smaller that is put in a revolving display on the Information Center counter. To request placement of your announcement, please contact the Information Center.
Lobby Electronic Sign
An electric sign announcement is displayed on the electric signs throughout the lobby. To request an electric sign announcement, contact our communications liason. Your request must be received 4 weeks prior to the event date. This allows 2 weeks for the approval and development process and 2 weeks of promotional time.
Electric sign announcements can be made up of several different media types. For more information about content requirements, please contact our communications liason.
Sanctuary PowerPoint Slides
PowerPoint slide announcements are displayed on the main sanctuary screens prior to each service. To request a PowerPoint slide announcement, please email your request, with your Microsoft PowerPoint slide attached, to our receptionist.
