Tell people which gathering they are being invited to

Christmas services can have different start times, formats and capacity. Name the gathering in plain language—Christmas Eve candlelight, Christmas morning worship, a children’s pageant or another service—and give the date and local start time. If the same invitation covers several services, list each time clearly rather than making visitors guess.

Use the church’s actual public address and mention a recognizable entrance if the building is large. Tell visitors where to park only after checking that those spaces are available to guests. If seating is limited or a reservation is required, say how to reserve a place.

Answer the questions a first-time guest may have

  • Is the service indoors, outdoors or streamed? If online, include the verified viewing link.
  • How long is the service expected to last, if the church can provide a reliable estimate?
  • Are children welcome in the main service? Is there a pageant, nursery or family seating, and what ages are served?
  • Can visitors enter without stairs? Where can someone ask about seating or other access needs?
  • Is there a dress expectation, ticket, offering or cost? State the actual policy; do not imply a fee if there is none.
  • What should a visitor do when they arrive, and whom can they contact before coming?

Do not call a service “livestreamed” until the platform, start time and public link have been tested. Do not promise child care or accessibility features that are not staffed or available for that service.

A sample message to adapt

Christmas [Eve / morning] service at [Church name]

Gather with us on [day, date] at [time and time zone] at [venue and street address]. [Add confirmed family, parking and access information.] [State whether visitors need to RSVP.] For current details, visit [public event link] or contact [public church contact].

Keep the flyer short. Put the essential date and location in the image, then let the event page carry longer directions or schedule details.

Start with a real design, then check it

  1. Open either example above. The text, colors and layout are editable, and the flyer is not a published event.
  2. Replace the sample heading and details with the church’s approved service information. The example uses sample details, not real service times.
  3. Check contrast and readable text on a phone. If one graphic needs to cover several service times, leave enough space for each line.
  4. Download a PNG for social posts or a PDF for print. Browser drafts remain on this device; a download is not a published post.
  5. Pair the flyer with the church’s public event link so visitors can reach the latest information.

For church-linked event data and permission-aware sharing, open the church app and use the event tools available to your role.
