Hi Steve,

As I mentioned the other day I’ve been loving your blog, as someone who as accidently fallen into communications I’ve found it a really helpful resource.

What I’d love to see is some stuff that’s more applicable to smaller churches. The stuff I see on your site is often targetted at big churches with big staffing levels and big budgets, the trouble I have is working out what is realistic for me to achieve in my spare time and what I should make a priority. So I’d really love your thoughts on what small churches should aiming for, what they should be prioritising in terms of comms, it might not be actual activities but it might just be good to provide a thought process that people should go through. Anyway Im sure you can make something of that garble!

Re your coaching network it sounds like a great idea, not sure if I’ll be able to particpate via correspondence but if I could I’d love to be involved 🙂

Thanks for all the effort you put in and take heart that its definantly appreciated!
Cheers
Rowan

Hi Rowan,

Great feedback. Thanks! Can you tell me specifically what kind of help smaller churches need or your’s specifically? That would help me in the content of the writing.

I plan to do the coaching via skype calls…

Apologies for the late reply! For me I have an hour a week where I can do stuff in my spare time to help serve my church with comms stuff, the problem is I don’t know how to best spend my time. Everything I’ve done to date has just been haphazard, seen a need and tried to do something to fix it, but surely there is a better way! Is their a way I can prioritise activities? Im sure there is some strategic thinking that goes into good communications 🙂

I think generally small churches have little expertise or budget for comms stuff. So some sound thinking about where to start, what we could/should spend money on etc would be great.

Hope that helps, im probably a bit vague because I don’t really know what Im talking about 🙂
