Mother’s Day is the third most attended church day in the U.S., just behind Christmas and Easter. Naturally, moms want to spend the morning going to church with their kids and this is the church’s chance to show moms how much they love them. One of the best ways to do that is to create a visually-appealing Mother’s Day service with professional graphics and videos.

Navigating social media communication for your church is an ever-moving target. Just when you think you understand one network, that network makes significant changes. And when you think you've got your graphics designed well, they stop getting likes. We know you need church social media solutions.

Why is a church logo so important? Because logos capture and communicate the identity of your church. And in a world bombarded by advertisements at every turn, this is more important than ever. Merriam-Webster defines a logo as "an identifying symbol." In his book, Logo Design Love, designer David Airey explains, "For thousands of years, humans have needed and desired social identification. Think of the farmer who brands his cattle to mark his ownership or the stonemason who chisels his trademark."
