Social Media Shareable

Facebook Advertisement

Pay for a Facebook Single Image Ad. Use the image provided here. It is already formatted to the proper dimensions for this kind of ad. We suggest using the ad to point people to the page on your church website that includes your congregation’s Holy Week service schedule. Select “Get More Website Visitors” when creating your ad.

Each ad has 2 areas for copy with very limited character counts:

Text – 90 characters (located above the image)

Headline – 25 characters (below the image)

We suggest the following text for each copy area, but you are free to customize it to your needs and preferences. Just make sure to stay within the character count restrictions.

Text – Holy Week: The most important week in history. The most important week in your life…

Headline – Join us this Holy Week.

Postcards/notecards

These can be printed two to a page and are easy to print on cardstock paper using your church’s copier or printer. On the backside, include an invitation with your church’s worship times, address and contact information. Send one to visitors who have attended your church in the past year, and encourage members to send or hand deliver them to community members they know.
