 Theme an event around a specific or topical news item. For example, the Olympics, Thanksgiving, Canada Day or local festivities. - Anniversaries make news. Is your church or organization celebrating a significant anniversary (1, 5, 10, 25)? Create fun anniversaries - the 17-month anniversary of the first outdoor baptism, for example.
- Conduct surveys among congregants or community members and report the results. The poll should be generic enough to appeal to a mass audience and yet specific enough to tie to the church.
- Seek speaking engagements with non-church audiences like service clubs and chambers of commerce. Choose a topical subject and tell the media in advance. Give them a prepared text of the talk.
- Plan concerts or special events that impact the community in a non-evangelistic way. Look for unique venues or settings. Quebec's 400th anniversary celebrations provided a tremendous opportunity for outreach music and drama events.
- Organize seminars on subjects of interest to the public such as health, parenting and education and invite the media to cover it.
