Marketing and/versus Inspiring

Church IT, amorphous, design, pastoral

what if, in our marketing ideas/strategies within the church, we also asked about each event, why should people come to this event/meeting?

why is it that we have to promote events/meetings/programs? are we competing for people’s time? are we simply trying to get the word out? if we are competing, is that the right level on which to spend our resources? that is, by competing for people’s time, what are we implicitly acknowledging?

is there a event/meeting/program that is so inspiring that it needs no marketing? (youtube?)

can marketing get in the way of inspiring people to live lives in accordance with God’s will?

perhaps more later.
