There are a couple times a year when we take a little blogging break. It’s good to stop and refresh. While the blog will be quiet for the next week or so, we’ll still be sharing some stuff from the archives on Facebook and Twitter in case you don’t want time away from us.
Thanks again for being a part of Church Juice. We are thankful you’re here and we believe in the work you’re doing to build God’s Kingdom.
Thanks to everyone who joined in for The Network's Webinar Wednesday where I presented "The Web is Your Church's New Front Door." Some of you asked for a copy of the presentation so here it is along with the church welcome video we showed.
If you missed it, we'll be doing this webinar again next Wednesday, February 1. Or you can watch a recording of this presentation. To learn more about either option, check out this link.
I hope you find time during the busyness of Christmas to take a breath, relax and celebrate. As you reflect on the season, my prayer is you realize all the work you’ve done to get ready for Christmas at your church makes a difference. You play a part in communicating the good news of great joy that Jesus Christ is born. And His birth was just the beginning to a radical life that changes people's lives forever. Merry Christmas from all of us at Church Juice and thanks for the faithful...
I hope that everyone has a great Thanksgiving. Thank you for all the work you do every day to help tell God’s story to the people in your community. The work you do matters and I’m thankful to have you all as a part of the Church Juice community.
If you’re still looking for some Thanksgiving themed videos for this weekend, here are a couple of good ones from Igniter Media. Or maybe you’re just looking for something to watch because you’re so stuffed with Thanksgiving food goodness that...
Thanks to everyone who came to our workshop about being a welcoming church at the Edmonton Day of Encouragement. I appreciate your interaction and great questions. A few of you asked for a copy of the presentation, so here it is.
[Thanks to everyone who entered to win a copy of this awesome book and a set of our cool orange sweatbands. We loved reading all the advice people gave in the comments, too. The randomly picked winners are: Holly K. (Happy Birthday), Natalie, Tom O., Elizabeth G. (Merry Early Christmas) and Nikki T.]
When more than 60 smart church communications people come together to share advice, it has to be good, right? That’s exactly what has happened with the new book Outspoken: Conversations on...
This week, Church Juice turned two. We’re starting to find our voice and we’re throwing less temper tantrums than we expected, so that’s good.
The significance of a second anniversary hit me a few weeks ago. I hadn’t really been thinking about it, but after two years, it seems like a good time to think more about the future. And as I look back at what we’ve done—while also looking forward to the future—I find there are some things that are definitely at the forefront of my mind. And...
Many of you may have no idea who Bob Heerspink was, yet the influence he had in creating Church Juice was enormous. Bob led Back to God Ministries International, the parent ministry of ReFrame Media and Church Juice. This past weekend, he went to be with the Lord after a short fight with pancreatic cancer.
I first met Bob nearly four years ago. At the time, Church Juice didn’t exist other than on paper with the placeholder name, ‘Church Marketing Outreach.’ From early on, I could tell...
I want to thank everyone who stopped in for our workshop "The Web is Your Church's New Front Door" at the Leadership Training Event in Grand Rapids. As promised, here's a copy of the presentation plus a couple of welcome video examples.
Howdy y’all. I’ve landed in Dallas for Echo. It’s one of my favorite conferences because I always come back equipped with practical tips and strategies. Plus it’s just fun to be at a big gathering of church creatives and tech geeks.
If you’re here, I’d love to say hi. And if you track me down, I may even have a set of those retroly fantastic orange Church Juice sweat bands for you. (I'm really not as mean as the picture looks. I'm trying out my best muscle man pose. Yikes.)
On...
