Life is better when we’re connected. That’s why Good Shepherd offers over 10 different vehicles to keep our congregation informed including our monthly newsletter, The Sheepskin, our weekly E-News, our website, social media postings and our Sunday announcements, just to name a few. If you are a ministry leader, you know how important it is to get the word out about your event or program, and we are here to help you.

Our Communications Director, DeeDee Atwood, and our Parish Administrator, Kathy Hunter are tasked with the management of these vehicles, collecting information, proofing and editing material and then rolling it out to you in a timely manner. To be more efficient, and to make sure you get the most publicity for your efforts, we have created a page on our website with a form for you to submit your information.

Starting in November, Kathy and I will ask that all communication requests go through the website portal. Simply go to www.gshep.org/communications, fill out the form, and select where you want to publicize your information. On the page you will also find important deadline information for all our vehicles. Just one click will enable you to submit your information for all the available options.

Most events and programs do best with three weeks of publicity, so that means you should submit your materials not only by the deadline, but even further in advance if you want several weeks for it to be promoted.

Please be patient with Kathy and me as we encourage you to use the website form for submissions, and remember that all materials are subject to editing and availability.

Happy writing!
