Last Call- Lenten Email Campaign
There is still time to take advantage of the Lenten Email Campaign!  Please see below a downloadable email copy with an uplifting message that inspires your parish families to embrace eGiving. You can view it in English here and in Spanish here. And if needed, feel free to modify the copy to best reflect your parish's ministries and priorities then send the edited copy (or approval of our text) and an Excel file of all your parishioner email addresses to your Success Manager or email clientcare@faithdirect.net.
You can also download the Lent eGiving Social Media Kit with multiple images or use on your social media channels and samples for your church bulletin. These will highlight the opportunity for parishioners to give consistent support securely through eGiving. Our graphic options allow you the freedom to pick the look that best fits your Lenten stewardship theme.
If you have any questions, please contact us at 866-507-8757 or reach out to your Success Manager. |

Event Forms Video Tutorial Series: Part Ten
Starting to gear up for Faith Formation or Vacation Bible School sessions? If you have never done the registration for it through Faith Direct, that is something that we can help with! Contact your Client Success Manager today if you have questions on how to get started. If you’ve already done a registration through Faith Direct, you can utilize the Custom Template feature so that you don’t have to recreate everything from scratch! Just make any adjustments to last years’ event and then save it as the template for going forward! Instead of a copy button in our legacy platform, we offer the "Save as New Template" function which creates a custom template of a particular event for future use. This will help save time for the next time you need to do a similar event. For events like Religious Education, galas, or any event that the parish routinely hosts, a custom template can be created so all that needs to change is replacing the old information with the new. Check out the help article and learn how to create your own custom templates! Click here to watch the 5-minute video. You can access thefull 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. |
