Good afternoon! June brings us graduations, barbecues, and children running through backyard sprinklers. Summer days remind us of the joy of family and community as we gather together for picnics and camps and spending time together in the sunshine. Here’s hoping the summer months will be busy, meaningful and fun for your parish!
This month we're reintroducing our summer email campaign and recapping our latest webinar and training series on the events platform. We are also looking for your feedback in our annual satisfaction survey! Read on for these features and the usual fare of announcements and important dates. Thank you for letting Faith Direct be part of your ministries. May God bless you and your loved ones! In This Issue

Faith Direct wants your honest opinion
It is our continual aim to better our product, as well as your experience of the Faith Direct program for St. John Demo Church. We cannot do this without the help of your valuable input. Therefore, we ask that you please take three minutes to fill out this quick survey.
We will use this data to better inform our decisions and guide our efforts for the success of the program for you. |
Summer Email Campaign Faith Direct launched our revamped summer campaign last month and already dozens of churches have taken advantage of our free email service and invited their parishioners to participate in the Welcome Summer! eGiving Goal.
The summer vacation season is only just getting started and it's not too late to remind families about the benefits and convenience of online giving.
Faith Direct has prepared email copy encouraging parishioners who do not currently give online to enroll. You can view it in English here and in Spanish here. Feel free to modify this copy to best suit your parish and incorporate any other important messages you may have. Send it back to us along with a list of parishioners' email addresses and we will do the rest!
Faith Direct has also prepared a companion Summer eGiving Social Media Kit with images for use on your social media channels and in the church bulletin that reinforce the need to keep offertory consistent through online giving this summer.
To utilize this service and have Faith Direct send a summer email on your behalf, reply to this email or contact your Success Manager directly. Please include your edits to the email copy (if any) and a spreadsheet of your parishioners' email addresses. Faith Direct will not send this email without your permission. |
Event Forms Video Tutorial Series: Part Two Last month’s newsletter featured our first video tutorial on how to set up a basic form with fixed price per person.
This month, we continue the series with a tutorial on building a form with dynamic (or sliding scale) pricing. Please click here to watch this less-than-30-minute video.
You can access the full manual and resources here. As always, if you have additional questions, you can contact your Success Manager directly or email the Success team at clientcare@faithdirect.net. |
Watch the Replay: Events Panel Webinar Last week, Angela and Shelly from our Success Team had a great conversation with Faith Direct users Joanne and Diane, who shared their experiences using the new Event Forms platform for their RE and other registrations this year.
