Invite people in
Service time signs lead with the church name, then the day and times, then the web address. "Join us Sunday" and "all are welcome" say the same thing more warmly for the lawn out front. The holiday designs carry the right days: Christmas Eve is a Thursday this year, December 24, 2026, and Easter Sunday is March 28, 2027.
Drives, suppers and fundraisers
- Collections: food drive, coat drive, donations accepted, with the drop-off hours.
- Meals: Friday fish fry, pancake breakfast, benefit dinner, bake sale.
- Fundraisers: raise the roof and a goal thermometer you can mark as the total climbs, rummage sale, blessing of the animals, trunk or treat.
- Help wanted: volunteers needed, with a phone or email.
A few good habits
Tax-exempt organizations should keep candidate endorsements off their signs. Symbols such as a cross or a dove are added only as your congregation specifies. For parking lots and building entrances, plain church parking and this way signs are in the set, and an aluminum sign outlasts plastic if it stays up all year.
From the shop: Set out service time signs on Thursday or Friday so the weekend traffic sees them before Sunday, and bring them in on Monday. They last several seasons that way.
