Marketing Team at Work

This year the vestry has formed a marketing team to help us better connect with the community.  The team currently includes:  Linda Dawson, Andrew Hill, Paul Johnson, Cheri Krull, Jay Phillippi, John Panebianco, Roxanne Wendling, Eric Williams and Lisa Yaggie.

 

We will be working on a plan that includes setting a budget, and deciding how best to get our message out through a variety of media.  But our first step has been to discern the core message we think best represents St. Luke's.  We want it to be concise, memorable, true and appealing both to the heart and mind.  After brainstorming a number of possible tag lines, we have not yet settled on the perfect one.  We are sharing the ones we like so far in the hopes that you will help us with this ongoing discernment.  Let us know which ones you like, or give us your best creative effort.  You can email your ideas to the rector at eric.williams@stlukesjamestown.org.

  

Please get them in before our next meeting which will be May 6th.

 

The tag lines so far:

 

St. Luke's:  Feed Your Mind, Heart and Soul

 

Discover Family, Discover Faith, Discover the Perfect Fit

 

St. Luke's:  Where Tradition Meets Today

 

Finding the Way Home

 

St. Luke's:  Traditional Worship, Friendship and Community Pride

 

Fear is Out.  Hope is In.

 

St. Luke's:  Christ-centered, Family-oriented, Open-minded

 

Discover: Welcome, Tradition, Family

 

St. Luke's:  Come Grow with Us
