ADVERTISING PIONEER CLUBS SUNDAY
Use words and graphics that reflect the “Friend of God” theme.

Choose some of the following ideas:

WEB SITE

  • Post announcements on your church’s Web site about Pioneer Clubs Sunday events.

E-MAIL

  • Send e-mail reminders to church members inviting them to attend or asking them to pray for Pioneer Clubs Sunday.

COMMUNITY
  • Ask permission to post flyers in store windows or on in-store bulletin boards, inviting people to Pioneer Clubs Sunday events. Libraries and community centers may also have community event bulletin boards on which you can post announcements.
  • Post an announcement on your local cable access television station.
  • Distribute flyers to homes in your church’s neighborhood (if your community allows).
  • If your church has an outreach ministry team, ask them to extend invitations to the people they visit.
  • Ask the congregation to get permission to post flyers in local schools or to place an announcement in school newsletters.

NEWS RELEASES

  • Send a news release to local newspapers, cable TV stations, and radio stations.
