Easter Sermons and Ideas for Social Media

77. Take A Sunday Selfie With Your Crowd (via The Creative Pastor)

 

78-98. Sunday Magazine shares several ways to engage, promote and encourage through your social media channels

A few examples:

  • Do a #TBT (throwback Thursday) post from a previous Easter service.
  • Ask your followers how your staff can pray for them (be prepared to respond).
  • Share some tips for a first-time guests.
  • Ask your audience a question like, “What’s your favorite Easter tradition?”
  • Respond to every comment/reply about your Easter services.
  • After each Easter service, ask your audience on social media to share their experience with their friends and invite them to another service.
  • Develop an infographic about how many volunteers it will take to execute Easter, and use it to recruit volunteers.
  • Share two or three key verses from your Easter service.
  • Retweet/repost your pastor when they talk about your Easter service on social media.
  • Share an Easter YouVersion reading plan as a resource.
  • On Easter, prepare a few posts that will highlight a few of the day’s highlights.
  • Share a photo album of the Easter experience day on Facebook and tag people.

Similar to the sharable images, these tweets should contain relevant information about your Easter services or events. Send the tweets out through your church newsletter to your members, and encourage them to share them online. You can also develop a special page on the church website that contains all the graphics and sample tweets for members to reference as needed.

101. Use a specific hashtag for your church.

The use of a hashtag allows you to track the promotions for your Easter service in each social media channel, and can help create an online “buzz” about the event. But there is one caveat: your Easter hashtag needs to be unique to your church. For example, #Easter2016 is not something you should use; or even #FBCEaster. It would be best to tie your custom hashtag to your theme or name of the event. City Church in Tallahassee exemplified this with their special Christmas event this past year: #ChristmasOnTheMoon.
