We have developed a ‘welcome’ pack to help parishes to reach out to new homes being built in their local area.
The A5 folder is designed for parishes to be able to include a whole range of useful information about the local area, with the contact details for the church on the inside front cover. There is also an editable A5 flyer on which service times and other groups run by the church can be listed – this can be printed by churches and included as one of the flyers inside the folder.
Archdeacon Mark Badger said: “There is a huge number of new housing estates popping up across the Diocese and we wanted to offer something that makes it easy for churches to reach out to those people who might be moving in. I know from my experience at Kempsey that having something that can be easily put through doors is a great way to make an initial contact. If information like bus timetables and details of the doctors’ surgery and schools can also be included alongside church information, then people are more likely to keep it somewhere handy.”
If you would like copies of the folder for your church, please contact Sam in Communications with details of the quantity required. Sam can also help with the editable insert if necessary.
