Free Childrens Ministry Resource- Communication Template
Here is your next free childrens ministry resource to help you minister to children and families for effectively and efficiently.
Communication is key. Families want to be informed and you want to give every chance you can for a child to be involved with your ministry.
This children’s ministry communication template can be updated weekly and altered in any way you desire. It is a Microsoft Publisher file. You may choose to only use one side of the hand out. We have moved to that most of the time because if it is on both sides, then when they put it on the fridge you can only see one. If you do use both sides, put the most important information on front.
We do not print in color just to save money. A black and white sheet costs us 1 cent. A color sheet costs 7 cents. It doesn’t seem like it adds up, but it does. Instead we print black and white onto colored paper. It adds a little something to the image.
