New way to LOGIN to the Effective Church Communications Library

24 June, 2022 By Yvon Prehn Leave a Comment

The Effective Church Communications Library is a great resource of eBooks, training videos, and other videos related to seasonal events that you can share with your church. It's newly created and I'm still working on putting a lot of content on it.

But I realized while accessing it myself that the LOGIN was confusing, so I redid how members and LOGIN to the site that I think is much easier.

Here is the video that shows how to do it:

Following is a brief video of the ECC Library:

Organizations to support, in obedience to the book of Amos and Matthew 25:31-46

13 June, 2022 By Yvon Prehn Leave a Comment

There are many great ministries doing wonderful things in our world today. Here are some we support.

In a recent lesson for my Bible805 ministry, in going through the Bible I did a lesson on the book of Amos. The book is both a scathing inditement of the religiously active, but morally bankrupt Israel of the prophet's day and a challenge to all of us to be sure that our lives reflect the compassion and justice of God.

Many can do things personally, but many cannot but most of us can give something to support organizations who are doing incredible things for the Kingdom of God. Below are some of the organizations I recommend. Just click on the name to go to a description of what they do, their website, and my comments about them.

These are just a few of the many that are doing wonderful things—I also HIGHLY recommend that you go through your denomination when looking who to support. Many of the larger ones have reputable, long-established aid organizations.

Your local food banks, the prison ministries of your church, and outreach to the homeless and less fortunate, all of these need our help and support.

I encourage you on your church website and periodically in your handouts or bulletins provide a list like this and encourage your people to give generously to the many ministries that serve the "least of these."

Introducing the Effective Church Communications Library! A 24/7 online resource for church communicators

3 June, 2022 By Yvon Prehn Leave a Comment

Over the many years I've worked in church communications, the materials created in Effective Church Communications have helped many church communicators grow their churches in numbers and their people in spiritual maturity.

To make these materials accessible, I'm in the process of building the Effective Church Communications Library. There is MUCH more I am going to be adding to it and telling you about, but I wanted to get an initial video on it out to you. Here it is:

To go to the ECCLIBRARY, Click the following link: https://www.payhip.com/ECCLibrary

Again, much more about this is coming!

One incredibly helpful thing is that we will be collecting the fantastic articles Gayle Hilligoss wrote over the years for church administrators into eBooks. I'm personally very excited about how this will equip one of the most hard-working groups in the church.

One of the Good Guys—a printable, mugs, t-shirts, and a baseball cap to celebrate the good guys in your church and life

2 June, 2022 By Yvon Prehn Leave a Comment

I often say that "I got one of the good guys," when I talk about my husband. I've also used the term to refer to many of our friends and family, and men in our church. In recognition of all the good guys in our lives, I created the materials here for you to give out as Father's Day gifts.

First, a Printable

One of the Good Guys Printable from the Bibleverse ShopThis is a downloadable file you can print out in a variety of sizes, print up, and put in inexpensive frames (I use the ones from the Dollar Store). These make great, inexpensive gifts for family or for a men's group or ministry.

Click on the image to go to it, it is on the Bibleverse Shop of Printables and I'm giving this one to you for free as a gift from Effective Church Communications for Father's Day.

For Father's Day or anytime—I created these materials for you to celebrate the Good Guys in your church and life.

T-shirts, mugs, and a baseball cap

T-shirts and mugs are perfect for any occasion and what a great way to remind your special man that he is one of the good guys. Below is a collection from the Bibleverse t-shirts and more shop

I added a couple of additional designs from the Shop that also would be appropriate Father's Day gifts.

All the proceeds from the sales in the shop go to support the Bibleverse ministries including Effective Church Communications
