How to Make Announcements at Your Church

Making a strong series of announcements at your church leading up to the parade event is very important!   Here are some guidelines for making a strong announcement:



• Use pre-written bullet point notes outlining the major points that you want to communicate (see below for ideas)
• Speak clearly and slowly.  Practice your announcement at home several times before doing it at your Church
• Studies show that a person needs to hear something 3 times before they remember it.  It is ideal to make 3 announcements in the weeks leading up to the parade
• Be direct and to the point… do not drag out the announcement
• Show the included video (on the main coordinator page of this website)
  
  
   

Announcement Talking Points 

Include the following talking points in your announcement:



• The Celebrate Israel Parade is a multi-demonimational effort to show public Christian support for Israel

• We are believing for 1,000 Marchers this year

• The parade marches down 5th Ave. in Manhattan and will be internationally televised

• This event falls on a Sunday morning.  People's tithes and offerings should be mailed into the church for this week.

• The cost is $10 which gets your T shirt for the Parade (required to march).  

• Offer any specific information regarding transportation (charter bus nformation from church, etc.)

• Please help get the word out on Facebook by liking the Parade event page!
