We created our brochure when we realized that everything we wanted to pass on to the congregation about Covenant Groups/Small Group Ministry was too much to swallow in a letter or flyer format. The brochure allowed us to include pictures, graphics and text in a format that was a page turner, easy to look at, and full of timely and relevant information: what the movement was about, when we were recruiting members, and how to join. We have found it to be an effective piece.
During our November and December recruitment period, copies of the brochure were laid out on a table just outside the sanctuary entrance and displayed at coffee hour after Sunday Service. A committee member was there to answer questions for anyone wanting to pursue the subject further. It also allowed those not wishing to stop and talk to take information with them to peruse at a later time. Copies of our sign-up sheet were on the tables as well. At other times of the year, the brochures reside in a general information rack just inside the main entrance to our Fellowship.
