Planning and Promotion Workshop
A Parkside Leadership Training
Saturday, October 17th from 9am to 12pm
Hello everyone! Here are the details for the Planning and Promotion Workshop which will kick off our new on-going series of leadership trainings.
Like we say every Sunday, "there is always something amazing happening here." And those amazing things that happen at Parkside are because of the hard work, creativity and passion you all put into the ministries you're a part of. But we also know that planning an event can be profoundly frustrating experience, as it is easy to always feel behind the curve in the preparations and execution. This workshop will help provide tools and concepts that will help alleviate much of that frustration.
In this workshop we will learn:
The 3's P's of Planning:
Purpose (why this event? why now? what do want to accomplish?)
Place (how does the space we gather in dictate the details?)
People (who is this event for? who is going to help?)
Effective Communication (Advertising)
Reviewing the resources available to you at Parkside
When I first started in ministry, I learned very quickly that good communication extended beyond my teaching and preaching. It extended into every aspect of ministry from the space we gathered in to a simple flyer. How something is communicated is just as important as what is being communicated. I want to help provide tools for Parkside leadership that can help you avoid many of the mistakes I have made over the years in planning and promotion.
I hope to see many of you there on Saturday, October 17th from 9am to 12pm. Breakfast will be provided. Please RSVP if you plan on attending.

Parkside Leadership Forms
All forms are reviewed Tuesdays before 9am in preparation for Parkside Staff Meetings. Please keep that in mind as you submit your requests in order to get your information out in a timely manner.
To get your event on the calendar and promoted in all the places, the Ministry Calendar Planning Form needs to be filled out. It is the master document for all promotion.
When to Use This Form:
To get your event on the church calendar and promoted in the Friday Email, Bulletin, Website and Sunday Morning Announcements.
The Save (Change) the Date Form:
When to Use This Form:
To secure a date on the calendar before you have all the details of your event ready. Once details are ready, fill out the Ministry Calendar Planning Form.
To secure a room for a meeting or gathering that requires no promotion through church material.
To change any scheduling information from an already submitted Ministry Calendar Planning Form
The Promotion Request Form is primarily for anything extra you would like to submit: a thank you, a partner ministry event, important information, etc.
When to Use This Form:
To submit announcements to the Friday Email, Church Bulletin or Sunday Morning Service. (Non-Parkside Announcements are generally promoted only in the Friday Email.)
To update information already submitted via a Ministry Planning Calendar Form.
The Social Media Request Form is for getting information posted on our Instagram and/of Facebook Page.
NOTE: Unlike the Friday Email and Church Bulletin your event will not automatically be posted on Parkside’s Social Media when a Ministry Calendar Planning Form is submitted. This form is the only way.
For reimbursements please fill out Reimbursement Request Form and it will go directly to our treasurer for processing.
If someone is injured at an event or another incident occurs that may lead to litigation please fill out the Incident Report.
The Community Facility Request Form is for personal celebrations, weddings, memorials, and outside organizations wanting to use Parkside’s campus. It can be shared with partner organizations that want to use the facilities or Parksider’s who are in need of a space for the remembrance or celebration of life events.
Please DO NOT use this form for Parkside events (see description)!
