    Thanksgiving ideas, church volunteer appreciation ideas, gratitude

    Often times as a church, we remember to thank the most obvious groups:  new visitors and members.  However, sometimes the most important people we should thank get overlooked.

    Who are who are these people who sometimes get forgotten?

    Staff and volunteers

    There are so many ways that you can thank your staff and volunteers but we want to suggest a way that doesn’t cost you anything and helps your website reflect your true DNA.  Previously, we talked about one way to have a great church website is to use photos of real people from your organization on your website.  So, when you are taking and gathering pictures for your website, make sure to get some good photos of your staff and volunteers.

    3 great places on your website to put photos of your staff and volunteers

    1. Homepage:  If you have a image slider or large static image at the top of your homepage, use a picture with multiple people, including some staff.
    2. Ministry pages: (missions, youth, children’s, women’s, etc) include image(s) of people involved in that ministry and some of the staff/volunteers that run that ministry.
    3. Staff directory:  Include a picture and short bio of all your staff.

      Statistics show that simply acknowledging people about their service and work goes a long way with them. People are satisfied with recognition alone. It shows them that you recognize their work.

      Its such as you read my thoughts! You seem to grasp a lot about this, like you
      wrote the guide in it or something. I believe that you can do
      with a few p.c. to drive the message home a bit, however instead of
      that, that is excellent blog. An excellent read.
      I’ll certainly be back.

      Have you ever thought about creating an ebook or guest authoring on other blogs?

      I have a blog based upon on the same subjects you discuss
      and would love to have you share some stories/information. I know my visitors would enjoy your work.
      If you are even remotely interested, feel free to shoot me an email.
