Publicity
02 Jan 19
Publicising an
event is always a challenge; to ensure the message reaches as many people as
possible while trying to keep costs as low as possible. There are various
different ways of communicating festivals and events; word of mouth is one of the best and is very
effective but perhaps not reaching a wide audience. Posters and flyers are
relatively cheap, but not always eye-catching in black and white and can take
time to design and distribute. The signs on the road side can be effective if people are driving by. Adverts in local newspapers can become quite
expensive for just a small slot.
We have however in the past been lucky enough
to have prominent articles in some of the local papers including photographs
helping draw attention to the occasion. We are very grateful to the editors who do this for us.
In recent years
social media has become an extremely effective method to promote any event widely
and cheaply, we are grateful to Mark of Nuneaton Memories who has helped us with this side of
things.
We are now
preparing and looking forward to the events of 2019 with great
anticipation. We hope to welcome visitors who see and hear about these and that they will come and see for themselves. We trust that visitors will be able
to see that Ansley Church is working with the local community and trying to
spread the Christmas message.

Personal Profile
Rev. John Langanlds
It is with great pleasure that I would
like to welcome you to St Laurence. Frances,
my wife, and I have received a very warm welcome ourselves, so you will not be
disappointed when you visit St Laurence.
I am also the Curate of the other churches in Ansley and Arley – St
John’s, St Michael’s and St Wilfrid’s.
Being in a rural and farming area in the
north part of Coventry Diocese is like coming home for us. A number of years ago I pastored a church in
rural Norfolk which was mainly surrounded by arable farms with some pigs and
chickens. The strong sense of community life
was something very special. This should
be particularly valued in these days when many folk live such individual,
separate and often lonely lives.
We
have just had hot off the press a visiting card which I hope reflects what our
church stands for: ‘You will not walk alone.
Together we are with you on life’s journey’. Over these next weeks, months and years, I
hope we can get to know you better and that you will find Frances and myself
not just ‘churchy’ people but friends as well, who enjoy life and plenty of
laughter!
