CHURCH TIMES MONTH draws to a detailed this weekend, and I should prefer to thank the various readers who’ve helped to make the paper higher known by distributing leaflets, putting up posters, and easily mentioning the paper to friends.
Easter Day is when free access to the Church Times website finishes — so encourage friends, neighbours, and correspondents to profit from these remaining days, perhaps by reading and circulating this week’s Holy Week and Easter reflections.
Of course, the work of creating the Church Times higher known cannot stop here. Formation, discipleship, discernment — all the weather that contribute to a healthy worshipping community — might be greatly assisted by a subscription to the paper.
But, if that sounds too serious, we remain dedicated to our self-appointed task of creating the Church and all its doings more easily understood. If you’ve not seen it, please find the webinar “Keeping faith in journalism”, hosted by Roger Bolton this month, which focuses on how we meet present-day challenges that work against the type of independent reporting that this paper stands for.
The Church is now entering the season of annual meetings and the usually difficult search for brand spanking new church officers. (Perhaps the offer of a paid-for subscription to the Church Times might help?)
We still have leaflets left, and these can be ideal opportunities to spread the news of the paper still wider. Remember how easy it’s to pay money for some: just send an email to subs@churchtimes.co.uk, giving a reputation, postal address, and the variety of leaflets you’d like (multiples of ten); or phone 01603 785911 with these details.
It is not any exaggeration to say that the long run of the Church Times is dependent upon finding latest subscribers to interchange the loyal readers who’ve left us, many to a blissful place where marketing material can now not reach them.
The staff, the contributors, the advertisers, and all involved on this enterprise owe a debt of gratitude to all who’re in a position to help.
