Enhance Church Communication: Discover ‘Beyond the Bulletin’ Workbook

In an age where miscommunication is common, even within our church communities, the need for clear and effective dialogue is more pressing than ever. George Bernard Shaw’s observation that the biggest issue in communication is the illusion that it has taken place highlights this ongoing challenge. Addressing this, Rev Dr Marjorie Funk-Pihl and Pr Mike Girlinghouse have crafted a specialized workbook titled ‘Beyond the Bulletin’ to guide congregational leaders towards more impactful communication.

This comprehensive workbook is structured into three 90-minute sessions, each designed to address a crucial element of communication: Attitude, Structure, and Process. These sessions are not just theoretical but include practical exercises that apply directly to your congregation’s context. The workbook is ideal for council teams, church boards, and any group aiming to enhance their engagement with the larger community.

Session Details:

  • Attitude: Learn the essentials of an effective communication strategy and discover ways to manage emotions and stress that may hinder communication.

  • Structure: Dive into the foundations of constructing robust communication strategies tailored to your church’s needs.

  • Process: Design a detailed communication plan that involves and values every member of your congregation.

Offered at a cost of $95, this workbook is a worthy investment for any church looking to deepen its community ties and ensure that no member feels out of the loop. The sessions can be conducted either monthly or as part of a three-session retreat, providing flexible implementation according to your team’s availability.
