Community Events and Engagement Workshop - 9th November @ 1:00pm

Secretary21

Dear All,

If you haven’t heard yet, we wanted to extend a personal invitation to share the details of the next event in the Communicating with Purpose: Church Coaching & Communications Series and to let you know that there are still a few days left for you to register.

Building on the foundational principles discussed in the previous workshops you attended, this in-person workshop will focus on developing effective strategies for planning and promoting church events to engage your local community, particularly as we enter the Christmas season—a prime opportunity for connection and meaningful engagement.

This event will take place on Saturday 9th November from 1:00pm to 4:30pm at the Parramatta Centenary Uniting Church (46 Sorrell St. North Parramatta). Light refreshments will be provided.

This workshop is designed to provide hands-on tools and strategies to cultivate successful church and mission events. You’ll gain insights on how to create a lasting impact and build stronger relationships within your congregation and the wider community.

This workshop will help you:
• Reflect on the Theology of hospitality and fellowship, exploring how events and engagement activities integrate with your church's mission.
• Create effective event strategies that align with your church's mission and encourage a sense of community.
• Identify event goals and target audiences to enhance the successful promotion of your events.
• Understand your community’s needs to customise events for greater engagement and impact.
• Learn effective strategies and tools to leverage and increase event success.

In an article published by NCLS, data from a survey conducted by NCLS Research revealed that a significant percentage of Australians are open to an invitation to church at Christmas—likely more than you might expect. With this insight, it’s clear how essential church events can be during this season, offering a unique opportunity for your congregation to deepen engagement and cultivate meaningful connections. You can read more about the article here.

We believe this workshop will be a beneficial opportunity for a collection of members from local congregations to join together, learn, and grow in their ability to communicate the heart of their church through events and engaging with the community.

Please RSVP by Monday 4th November so we can prepare materials and refreshments for everyone.
If you have any further questions about the event, please feel free to contact our office on (02) 9683 5023 or email [email protected].

We look forward to having you join us and the team from Wild Hive again for this valuable session as we work together to support our faith communities.

Blessings,
The PNP Team
