When Fate Ties You Into A Knot - What Do You Do?

The Churches Newsletter

This episode is the continuation of EP.74 part.1

Why should the church have its own church newsletter? Well! First and foremost, the primary purpose of the church is to reach out, preach, teach, empower, disseminate and communicate the Gospel and Christianity, if the dogma is about Christianity or God as the essence of creation, if the focus is about God. Whatever, the message is about.

This information can be used to empower the congregation as well as the community, outside of the church. The non-congregants are part of the mainstream searching sheep; who are left-out of the church because they’ve not found a reason to belong in the church. This is where you find members of the famous “Gabola Church” disposition is affected by alcohol abuse, drug peddling and addictions of all kinds.

The newsletter can be produced weekly and distributed to the church as part of the education drive to reinforce the teaching. Other information related to the church can also be included in the newsletter, e.g. upcoming wedding celebrations, special baptismal events, bible classes, prayer meetings, community crime rehabilitation programs and the churches Sunday school activities etc.

The youth can be involved in the production and coordination of the newsletter to instill a sense of responsibility and purpose to develop their leadership skills and good qualities. Review Episode No.74 here

The Sermons Booklet

• The Second item in the menu of archiving information for the library to be considered seriously by the church; is the production and printing of the churches Sermons Booklet. Why is it important for the library to have such a booklet? The sermons booklet serves two main important functions that the church can use to keep hope and the Gospel Teachings Alive and flowing, by constantly updating people with the latest information.

The church should distribute it on a monthly basis to remind the congregation of the last past four sermons where upon the teachings made an impact to the congregation. This follow up strategy is how God empowers us to remember Him and constantly praise Him. Otherwise if this booklet is not in the hands of the congregation every month, they'll forget why they went to church in the first place.

The second aspect of this booklet is a reminder and a reference book for the congregation to use as a personal encyclopedia of teachings to entertain their spiritual sentiments . It does have an impact to the readers psyche and it keeps their atmosphere and focus on the teachings.

Rather than the church leave this to be in the hands of “social media” abuse of fake news. The booklet is a mini-version of the big picture i.e. salvation and our constant war against evil.

This sermons booklet allow members of the church the opportunity to be soaked in the message rather than be lost to negative programming and messages that will destroy the atmosphere built by the pastors’ sermon.

In Conclusion

That in a nutshell is how the church should view, plan, visualize and go about setting up the library strategy of the church. If the church wants to survive the new millennium challenges or to meet the needs of the people on the ground. It’s message and teachings; should be consistent and fed constantly to serve, impress and to empower or execute, a new vision that will transform our communities to see the church grow beyond its current state.
