There is no shortage of emails during the holidays. Between retail promotions, school reminders and nonprofit appeals, inboxes fill up before December even begins. So how do you make sure your church's Advent devotional, holiday event or Christmas Eve invitation does not get lost in the noise?

Trunk-or-Treat has become one of the most popular community events of the fall season for many United Methodist churches. Families come for the candy and decoration but they often leave with warm memories of a welcoming congregation. With so many smiling faces and creative displays, these events offer great opportunities to tell your church’s story through photos and videos.

If your church had a strong Christmas social media presence or a full Christmas Eve service, the days that follow are not the time to go silent. That does not mean you need a full production schedule between December 26 and January 7. It means you need a plan that gives your community something consistent and meaningful, even while your staff and volunteers recover from the biggest Sunday of the year.
