Help Us Share
Your Event

We love celebrating and supporting the many ministries and events happening at Lewis Memorial UMC. One of the best ways to ensure your event is well attended is to give us enough time to share it clearly and consistently across our communication channels.

When leaders submit events early, we are able to promote them thoughtfully through the website, weekly update, social media, and worship materials. This helps reduce confusion, increases participation, and allows us to tell your ministry’s story well.

Publicity Timeline

For the best results, please submit your publicity request using the guidelines below:

9 - 12 weeks before your event
Best for major events, special services, outreach opportunities, and anything open to the wider community. This allows time for graphics, scheduling, and multiple reminders.

4 weeks before your event
Ideal for ministry meetings, classes, and smaller gatherings. This gives us time for at least one strong round of promotion.

1 week or less before your event
We will do our best to share late submissions, but visibility may be limited depending on existing schedules. Last-minute requests may not appear in all communication outlets.

Why Timing Matters

Early submission helps us:

• Create clear, accurate messaging

• Design consistent graphics

• Schedule posts and announcements effectively

• Avoid last-minute changes or missed opportunities

Our goal is to support you and your ministry while maintaining clear, welcoming communication for the whole church.

Thank you for partnering with us to help our congregation stay informed, connected, and engaged. If you have questions about publicity or timing, we are always happy to help.
