This is a particularly good year for a Ministry Fair
Recently, our office has been advising parishes to have Ministry Fair's every couple of years. They are large endeavors and doing them well periodically seems to be better than struggling with them every year. In fact, data we collected several years ago showed us that Ministry Fairs seem to yield a bigger response when they don't occur every year.
This year, there are some good opportunities because of the way the calendar cycles.
If you are doing Time & Talent renewal late this Spring to coordinate ministry sign-ups with Pentecost, the weekend before Pentecost would be a great time for a Ministry Fair.
If you are doing Time & Talent renewal after Labor Day, the weekend between Labor Day and Catechetical/Build Hope Sunday is a particularly good one to show off your ministries.
We have good information for putting on a Ministry Fair. If you would like it, contact us at parishstewardship@seattlearch.org and we will be glad to send it to you.
