We are smack dab in the middle of the Christmas season. There is a TON of stuff going on. Christmas parties, school concerts, and lots and lots of family get-togethers. Many churches jump on the bandwagon and fill the calendar with their own slate of events. That may be the proper strategy in your case, but realize there is a cost. Each event you do takes away from your ability to do something else with excellence – do you want to split your budget and staff energies across ten December events, or does it make more sense to focus intently on the Christmas Eve services [and making sure that whatever you invite guests back to in January is awesome]? Another cost is congregational overload. Think of it this way – would it be good for your child to be in basketball – and track – and drama club – and student government – and debate team – and choir – and band – all at the same time? Why not? Those are all good things… They are indeed good things, but not simultaneously. Similarly, you can burn out your congregation by “should-ing” them into too many things in an already jam-packed December. Not trying to be a Scrooge, but I’d rather see churches do a few things and do them incredibly, than do a bunch of things so-so. I say this a lot, but it’s good to remember – more isn’t better, better is better.  #creativeworshipideas

The first event I did as a business, after leaving the world of music and festivals, was a street festival for a business group that wanted to revitalise its economy. They had a general plan of what they wanted to offer visitors and we set about bringing back a street fair to remind the neighbourhood of the great businesses on their doorstep.  Since then I've done many community events and have learned 5 key components to a successful community event. Make sure you engage your WHOLE community. Be clear on your goal of your event and wear it like a shingle over the shop front. Community food before food trucks. Resist the temptation to book the high end (read expensive) entertainment. Make sure you contact your local Council and find out what rules and regulations you need to comply with. Community events are an amazing fabric of society and anyone can create one. If you are working on a community event, follow me for lots of event planning tips to help you along the way.

"Go for it, but be prepared for lots of problems like acts pulling out last minute etc, pressure to #promote & never ever give up it’s worth it for the buzz you get when you pull it off. You will get rejected for trying to support others, you will get naysayers & you will get people saying you can’t possibly achieve it. What you’ve got to do is say watch me, be determined, have passion in what you believe in, & be driven enough & determined enough to prove people wrong. Stick to your beliefs & find like-minded people for support & stick with them, none of us succeeds alone but we can try even better especially if we’re together. The more people like that you get on your side the more likely you’ll have successful events. I don’t believe in running down competition we are all part of the grassroots #community and should all help each other out, other #promoters should all help and support each other especially if they are based at the same #venue, as it all helps each other’s to be successful. A busy venue equals a busy #event." https://lnkd.in/eXui_h2d
