Last year my parish advertised in the local newspaper during Advent (the month or so before Christmas). We were hoping to lure people in for the Christmas Masses and hopefully they would like it so much they would come back! I just went to a meeting last night and was told I have the go-ahead to create new advertisements for this year.
Last year we did the following (not exactly these but the message is the same):
My sister sent me this one recently:
If anyone has any other ideas, let me know! I'll post what we're going to use when I've submitted them!
