What’s your church doing this Easter?

Very clever, well narrated and an engaging use of video that’s very different to most of the videos available this Easter. Produced Shirelive.

I’ve shared mini-movies for Easter services before – check out ‘6 videos for Easter services‘, and ‘Two more Easter videos‘.

I’ve been doing some research into videos that we can play during church services on Good Friday and Easter Sunday, particularly those on the theme of ‘Hope’. Here are 6 mini-movies that I’ve discovered – post a link if you’ve come across some other useful resources.

Easter in just 2 weeks away! It’s getting late to be developing marketing campaigns for this year, but I want to keep sharing what churches around the world are doing to promote their Easter services, so that we can continue to learn from each other. You can explore all posts about Easter here.

Thanks to Sandy for sharing the concepts St Michael’s Cathedral have used to promote their Easter services since 2008. The graphic designer who executed these campaigns is Dominic Kipps.
