Easter – Packed With Potential

Many pastors use mini-movies as sermon-starters. Just play the video, and let it serve as a sermon introduction. And this is a great use! We’ve even got a great NEW FOR 2010 video to launch your sermon. But have you ever considered the other potential uses for media, especially on a big weekend like Easter?

AN EASTER WELCOME VIDEO – Use an Easter Mini-movie early in your services as a “welcome” video. Our “Easter-Welcome to Our Church” video was one of our most popular videos last year. Another great welcome video is our “Easter Quotes“.

AN EASTER PROMO VIDEO – If you’re looking to inspire your congregation to invite their unchurched friends, then consider using a specialized video to do this during the weeks BEFORE Easter. Check out our best-selling “Easter 82“, and our 2010 release “Easter Reward“.

AN EASTER WORSHIP FOCUS – If you’ve got a segment of your service devoted to worshipping God through music, consider showing “The Cross of Christ” before or during the worship music.

AN EASTER INVITATION VIDEO – If you’re planning on giving people a chance to place their trust in Jesus, then consider showing “Come As You Are” (new for 2010) or “Redeemed” at the end of your sermon.

PROMOTING EASTER IN YOUR COMMUNITY – At Sermolicious (our sister company), we’ve designed some Easter Graphics Packages for you to use on all of your Easter promo and teaching materials. Consider sending a direct mailer or newsletter to your community, creating posters and banners, even renting a billboard. Pick up the original .psd file and customize it with your own title and unique church information.

AN EASTER MOTIONS PACKAGE – If you’re looking to let people experience consistent coloring and feel at all points in your service, consider our Easter Motions Package, or our Easter Sills Pack.

Our prayer for your church is a simple one – that your hardest, most diligent work for Easter would be to lift up the name of Jesus. And that, as a result, HE ALONE would draw all men and women to Himself. May you stand and point to empty tomb, and invite people to live outward from there (oh yeah… we created a video about that too).

The Floodgate Staff is Growing

We’re excited to announce that our good friend – Tony Bagato – will be joining the Floodgate Staff Team.  Tony has been a dear friend of Floodgate for the past four years, and even helped us get started as a company.  Tony is good at everything, but his areas of expertise lie in the exact areas Floodgate needs – areas that we must improve on in order to have an increased impact in the Kingdom.   These areas include marketing, branding, and strategic planning.  Tony is a gifted leader, and is someone whose passion for Christ runs deep.

If you’d like to shoot Tony a “welcome” email, he’d appreciate it (tony@floodgateproductions.com).

Welcome Tony.  We’re really glad you’re here, and we can’t wait to see what God’s gonna do now!

Happy Valentine’s Day, from the Floodgate Creative Team.

The Floodgate New Year’s Store

We invite you to visit the New Year’s Media section of our Online Store.  Whether your preaching about personal renewal, your church’s unique vision/mission, or New Year’s resolutions, you’re sure to find everything you need right here.  We even created a new motion loop that simply says, “Happy New Year”.

We also invite you to visit the Sermolicious website to check out our New Year’s resources – many of which have corresponding videos available on the Floodgate website.

And finally, if you’ve got a spare moment, we’d love to know your teaching/preaching plan for the month of January.  Are you preaching through a book of the Bible? Your church vision? Evangelism? Personal renewal issues?  Resolutions?

And for Worship Pastors/Leaders – Do you have any great music that’s related to the New Year?  What songs are in your hip pocket for January?

When pastors and leaders willingly share this information on a site like ours, it ALWAYS encourages other pastors and church leaders.  It also helps us all remember that there is a “Big C” Church that we’re all a part of.

So what about you?  What’s your plan for January?
