Customized Media for Your Church
Easter, Fall Kickoff, and Christmas are all opportunities to invite your community to your church. What if your graphics, media, and printed materials were all designed and customized for you? And what if you had multiple designs to choose from? We are excited to offer you a valuable resource package, which includes a PDF file that is ready to print and send by direct mail to your community through USPS.

Step-by-step instructions are attached to this email for you. There is no need to get a mailing list or stamps. Everything is ready to go the way the postcard is designed. (We also encourage you to talk to your local post office about it to make sure you're on the same page.)
