Brand new resources for Harvest Welcome 2010
07 June 2010
Don't forget - it's not too late to sign up for our Harvest Welcome campaign this year.
The idea behind it is for people to invite friends to come to a special service at church, which is planned particularly with visitors in mind.
In the past many churches in the diocese have taken part inBack to Church Sundayand found it a helpful way of 'spring cleaning'their welcome and asking along people who have fallen out of the habit of churchgoing.
This year, having listened to a great deal feedback from parishes, we are trying a slightly different approach by offering 'Harvest Welcome'resources.
You can order pre-printed invitation cards, prayer cards and posters by filling in the order form and sending it to us. The designs for these resources arehere. You can order them by downloading anOrder form here.
Alternatively, you can download the artwork (seedesign elements, below) if you want to customise and print your own materials.
To help you plan your special Harvest services there are some resources here:
- Harvest Welcome Prayer
- Harvest Welcome Liturgy
